[Peace-discuss] RIP: Ruth Hubbard

[Boyle, Francis A]

Of course Ruth proves that Larry Summers is an IDIOT. Women are not dumber than men when it comes to math and science. But of course Larry specializes in that voodoo junk social science known as "economics." Fab.

There is a very fine Tribute to Ruth in the Sunday New York Times Magazine Special on The Lives They Lived. Ruth was the first woman to become a tenured professor of biology at Harvard. She was married to my friend George Wald of the Harvard Biology Department, Nobel Prize Winner in Biology , and a Leader of the American Peace Movement. Speaking before the Convention of the Council for Responsible Genetics at Harvard Divinity School in November 2001 with Ruth sitting  in the audience, I paid Tribute to George and said that after 9/11/2001 we really needed George to lead us,  but that the rest of us will have to carry on as best as we can without him. And now the same for Ruth. Professionally I have read and used her work on Biopiracy and Biocolonialism by the White Racist Capitalist World against People of Color in the Third World. Both Ruth and George were world class scientists. But even more importantly, they were true Humanitarians dedicated to promoting peace, justice and human rights around the world. I shall miss them. And the world is impoverished without them.
RIP: Ruth and George.
