Yale Defamation Case
Yale Daily News reports:
"With the help of a subpoena issued six months ago, attorneys for two Yale Law School students have succeeded in unmasking several anonymous users of the Web forum AutoAdmit whom the women are suing for defamation."For some background on the AutoAdmit case see Feministe. The gist of it is that a bunch of law students decided to post pictures of and make degrading comments about female students. They got sued. From YDN:
"One of those authors was “AK-47,” who, in 2007, posted that women with one of the Yale Law students’ names “should be raped” and said they were “gay lovers.”"I think that if someone were publishing comments like that about me I'd be pretty displeased to say the least. It's a good thing for their student paper to be covering this story.

Women in Science
Yale Daily News has an UpClose on Women in the Sciences. They include comments from several different sources, including Hannah Brueckner, director of undergraduate studies in sociology professor and women’s faculty forum steering committee co-chair. “If you’re in the minority, like women are in the sciences, you get talked about like a woman,” she said. “Your successes or slight mistakes are identified with your gender rather than with you as an individual.”
Sexism means that competent female scientists drop out before they can fulfill their potential, which is a great loss to the sciences.
