A reader kindly forwarded a story that is related to my Women in Science article. This is from an identical twin in England. The author is a postdoc. Her twin sister is a medical doctor. A rare controlled experiment for Larry Summers and friends, with identical genetic endowments.

In academia, to make things worse, most of the professors have suffered throughout the process to become professors, and many of them think that their students should suffer more. It’s like personality disordered parents that tend to bring up personality disordered children. Indeed, those in the ivory tower, with little exposure to the rest of the world, are much less mature, and tend to create challenges. Like generals fight for land, corporations fight for market, and professors have nothing to fight for, so they fight each other for corner offices, and fight their students. This is more dramatic in second-tier universities, where the professors all graduated from top-tier universities, and they think their students are stupid.
