UW Researcher Claims The ‘Experiences Of Women’ Invalidate Peer-Reviewed Research
14th August 2017
A physics researcher at the University of Washington says that the scientific citations within the leaked “Ideological Echo Chamber” Google memo must be ignored because the research was “conducted primarily by white men.”
She claims that peer-reviewed research is invalidated by the “experiences of women.”
…
On Quilette last week, four scientists across the fields of psychology and neuroscience largely agreed with Damore’s findings. Neuroscientist Debra Soh wrote in to say that she “didn’t find the memo offensive or sexist in the least.”
UW physics associate Chanda Prescod-Weinstein disagrees, calling the memo a product of “shoddy science.” Campus Reform reported Monday that the researcher first voiced her argument on Slate before taking matters to Twitter, where she devalued the importance of peer-reviewed research.
Identity trumps facts. Good to know.
These people are teaching your children. Be very afraid.

So peer-reviewed research is Good when it supports a guy ranting about women in tech, but Bad when it involves climate change.
How do you explain that?

So peer-reviewe4 research is Good when it supports (not involves) climate change, and Bad when it supports obvious differences between men & women.
How do YOU explain THAT?
Oh, and if you’re looking for ‘peer-reviewed research’, try that from people who don’t fudge the numbers to make their cries of doom come out right.
