Janice: One of the wonderful women I interviewed, Meg Urry, who had been a NASA scientist and was hired away by Yale to be the first head of the physics department, she was telling me about a meeting she was at at Yale with a group of tenured professors. She started the meeting by asking them all to mention -- it was a group of women tenured professors -- by asking them to all say what they were an expert in. She said the meeting started and the first woman said, "Well, I wouldn't call myself an expert, but my field where I'm really good is..." Each woman did some version of that same comment. Meg said she was outraged. Being a tenured professor means you're an expert in a field. The currency of academia is expertise. Even in something as straightforward as this, women are afraid to say, "Yeah, I'm darn good at this." It's something that I learned as I was doing this book. I've always been self-deprecating. I've always thought it was a way to ingratiate yourself and to make people like you, to be a little bit self-deprecating. I'm not going to do that anymore.
