Theoretical physicist Professor Veronika Hubeny was the only woman on the panel of six that spoke on the topic: “Pondering the imponderables: The biggest questions of cosmology.”
Attendee Marilee Talkington shared her account of the talk after being outraged that Professor Hubeny was “barely given any opportunity to speak.”
Marilee Talkington yelled “Let her speak, please!” when the only female physicist of five panelists kept getting interrupted.
And what Talkington noticed as the panel went on was that the moderator, science writer Jim Holt, let the men speak... but talked right over Hubeny.
Having someone speak over you is never fun, so imagine how physicist Veronika Hubeny felt when her own theories were being described to her, with the moderator not letting her have more than a minute of speaking edgewise. Thankfully, one woman in the audience, Marilee Talkington, decided she had had enough for the both of them.
At the World Science Festival in early June, theoretical physicist Veronika Hubeny joined a panel on cosmology with five other physicists. In a cringe inducing exchange, the panel moderator interrupted the physicist to explain physics to her — and, in particular, her own field of expertise. Repeatedly. Oof. Whether you call it “mansplaining” or just “being rude,” the audience was not having it, and one woman in the crowd called out the moderator, demanding, “Let her speak, please!” Her intervention has been met with applause — both from the audience and from thousands of people online.
As noted by The Observer, Veronika Hubeny, a theoretical physicist and professor at the University of California, was participating in a panel at the World Science Festival when she was interrupted several times by moderator Jim Holt, a philosopher and New Yorker contributor. During the panel, titled "Pondering the Imponderables: The Biggest Questions of Cosmology," Hubeny was asked a question by Holt on the subject of string theory. While she was giving her response, Holt continuously talked over her, preventing her from finishing a thought. (It's also worth noting that Hubeny was the only woman on a panel with six other men.) Finally, a woman in the audience chimed in to yell what so many people were probably thinking: "Let her speak!”
When Marilee Talkington had had enough of the men on the World Science Festival panel talking over the one woman scientist, even mansplaining her own theories to her, Marilee spoke out and demanded that the moderator let her speak.
When a panel of the brightest minds in science are discussing the depths of the universe, it’s typical for the audience to be in awe. However, one audience member during one such panel on cosmology had a different takeaway: Sexism is real and it’s happening right now.
