Physics as a profession is dominated by white men.

So guess who the Institute of Physics has appointed as its new Inclusion and Diversity representative?

Go on, guess.

Thanks was just coming on to say I couldn't see those heartening replies....
If I'm ever first to the heartening replies in one of these scenarios, I will take a screenshot before the sinister hand of control intervenes!

Does anyone else think they're taking the piss at this point? ie deliberately having a laugh at women's expense to show us how little they care?

It really is a mockery. That the field is so male-dominated that most of the 'women' are male is quite telling.

Dr Barker seems to have done a Ted Talk in 2018 called 'Why we need to build trust to build diversity and inclusion.'

Trust. And Dr Barker?

Yeah, right.

Oh what a total surprise. Not. Wonder who the other candidates were, or if this was an appointment rather than a selection process.
