|content=What we need is a multi-decade  [[Labor Shortages|“labor shortage”]] in STEM that brings technical employers howling in pain about employee wage demands. Family demands. Maternal demands.
The answer is simple: in STEM the wrong people are in pain. It should be our beloved administrators & employers.

|content=This is the elephant in the lab.
A secret reason (which we collected anonymously multiple times at NBER/ASCB) for delaying tenure decisions beyond healthy fertility is departmental fear of committing to top women in research for fear they will find motherhood more fulfilling.

|content=You can blame the Principal Investigators who told us this (both male & female). You can blame the universities. You can blame the messenger. But we need to talk about getting STEM moms a LOT more money for help in the house & make more allowances for staying home for 5-10 years.

|content=And yes, Dads can be more present. But before you go too far down that road, consider that some of the STEM women we spoke to said that they would have WANTED to be at home, particularly with little children (<7) and what they really wanted was a way back to research afterwards.

|content=That said, I think she’s much harder to beat as she gains confidence in her ability to stand for science. It’s an impressive act of conscience & bravery to go it alone like this, and I wish the physics community saw it for what it is.  I may disagree at times, but my hat is off.

|content=We oddly now live in a Hossenfelder era of Theoretical physics. Sabine is almost distinguished by a near total unwillingness/inability to sit quietly through the hype machines in Theoretical physics that feed the demands of lay people, journalists & physicists. But is she right?

|content=My take is that she is usually right. Not only that, many in the community rail against her when *they* know she is making sense.
But where she‘s wrong could be very significant. I would love to *try* to defend the role of beauty in physics (tarnished by [[String Theory|string theory]]) from her.
