CCL: [CCL] Re: CCL: ICQC shame



Maybe we should append more names to Kadir's list to show that "Y-chromosome deficiency" does not prevent doing sound theoretical science.

Anne McCoy
Sharon Hammes-Schiffer
Kristine Pierloot
Heather A. Carlson

Apologies to whom I could not quickly recall.

Prof. Emily Carter, Princeton University
Prof. Laura Gagliardi, University of Minnesota
Prof. Anna Krylov, University of Southern California

Re: zborowsk <=> Therein lies part of the problem. Perhaps CCL should
dedicate a part of their platform to related social issues such as
these. Theoretical Chemistry does not exist in a vacuum. Social issues
do impact it, do not tell me that the contribution of women, blacks or
other minorities (or from your vantage position that may even include
Roma peoples too) should be ignored - for that matter, you are also
saying that their labor could be appropriated.

Is Theoretical Chemistry to be the preserve of a small unique privileged
group.

And BTW, for Krzysztof K. Zborowski the issue here is not "sex" but
"gender" inequality as a representational issue.

Granted that the space should be dedicated to Theoretical Chemistry, but
had this original commentary, which is of importance to the community gone
without your further opposing commentary, this would not be continuing.

Thanks!

Well,
could we talk about theoretical chemistry, not about sex....??
Please

I fully agree that this is not acceptable. I trust that the three poeple
sponsoring this, particularly Prof. Emily Carter, who is a member of the
Academy, have made their views known to the Academy directly. Major
international conferences should make sure there is a reasonable balance
between men and women as well as from all countries in the world when
selecting speakers.

Dear Colleagues,

I am posting this message on behalf of professor Anna Krylov -one of
the many outstanding women in theoretical chemistry- regarding the
choice of speakers for the upcoming ICQC conference.

I would always like to think of us, scientists, as some of the
leading figures in the fight for gender equality. I wish the choice
of speakers for this conference was just a statistical abnormality.
Even that would be unacceptable...

Professor Krylov's message follows below.

Best regards,
Kadir
