Watch out for snarks! Instead, surround yourself with the
real people in your life. Make an appointment with one of them today. Then,
make it your business to foster those relationships on an ongoing basis.
Known as the “queen of modern physics”, Chien-Shiung Wu came to the U.S. to study
science when she was still a teenager. While working at Columbia
University, she contributed to the Manhattan
Project, and she personally assisted Tsung-Dao Lee in the development of his
parity laws by providing him with a possible test method for beta decay that
worked successfully. In spite of her contribution, which was considered by many
to be instrumental in the creation of the laws, she did not share in the Nobel
Prize that was awarded to her male counterparts. Many view this as an act of
sexism on the part of the selection committee.
If, like Wu, you find yourself dodging sexist snarks, you’ll need to fine-tune
your radar. Start with Real You Incorporated: 8 Essentials for Women
Entrepreneurs. Have a snark in your life? Tell us about them.
