Dr. Nehmé: “science is not exclusive to men”

[Meow Mix]

Came across this inspiring interview with astrophysicist Dr. Cyrine Nehmé, who speaks about sexism and misogyny she has faced while seeking her dreams.

I love the progressive and secularist slant of Raseef22! It's one of my favorite Arabic-language websites. Thanks for sharing that.

I do notice with some annoyance that the interviewer is talking to an astrophysicist and can’t restrain themselves from asking her about her clothing.

She responds well though.

Yikes. I haven't watched the interview, but that's a facepalm-worthy moment.

I don’t think people mean ill when they do this, but it is one of those things for sure.
