I am about to go to a top 5 graduate school for Mathematics this year, but I am concerned about finding an apolitical woman in STEM, or at least academia as a whole. I am hoping to have two to three children, so I need her to be done with her major studies at 23-25 to achieve the best fertility. I will be finishing my PhD at 22, and I am fine being up to five years older than any potential mates. I can't wait for my Professorship since the youngest woman with a PhD is 22 and most women would be half-rotten by the time the first kid would be produced in that timeframe (about 26). I could live with marrying an Asian instead of a white, but nothing more than that.

Is Identity polotics harming the STEM field?
This is not a /pol/ thread, i genuinely believe that anyone (no matter colour or sex (sex because gender is not a scientific term or anything real desu)) can be as smart as me given time and effort.
I'm worried that Identity Politics will harm the meritocracy that acts as the foundation of Natural selection within the work-place (especially STEM); that the push for hiring people based on race or sex, and the political push to censor any scientific revelations that go against what IdPol tells us, will ultimately ruin the only haven left for free thinkers.
>What do you guys think?

>inb4 - righty, /pol/, insert non-seuitur here
non-arguments don't prove anything. i have a centrist bias anyways, i'm more for truth than a political "side"
>inb4 - not relevant to /sci/
very relevant to sci considering it's impact on STEM (both currently, and expected)

Look at the sky. Almost-invisible mind-control units are tracking your eye movements and electromagnetically controlling your thoughts.

If you froze every single thing in existence, time wouldn't be able to resume.

Therefore the existence of time means that time has always existed. Since time is nothing more than a tool to measure the change of material objects, matter has also always existed.

>How can xenophobia be reduced and altruism strengthened? Researchers at University Hospital Bonn have shown in a new study that the bonding hormone oxytocin together with social norms significantly increases the willingness to donate money to refugees in need, even in people who tend to have a skeptical attitude towards migrants. The results are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

>Under the influence of oxytocin, the individuals who tended to show a positive attitude towards refugees doubled their donations to both the locals and the refugees. However, oxytocin had no effect in individuals who expressed a rather defensive attitude towards migrants: In those participants, the tendency to donate was very low to locals and refugees alike. “Oxytocin clearly increases generosity towards those in need, however, if this altruistic fundamental attitude is missing, the hormone alone cannot create it,” says Hurlemann.

>Oxytocin in combination with social norms decreases xenophobia

First things first, how feasible would it be to distribute this through main water supplies and secondly how the FUCK is this ethical in any scientific setting?

>The yard or the metre shall be the unit of measurement of length and the pound or the kilogram shall be the unit of measurement of mass by reference to which any measurement involving a measurement of length or mass shall be made in the United Kingdom; and- (a) the yard shall be 0.9144 metre exactly; (b) the pound shall be 0.45359237 kilogram exactly.

How in the world pound and yard could be measured such precisely?
