Yesterday I heard the sad news that Prof.
Walter Lewin, age 78—perhaps the most celebrated physics teacher in MIT’s history—has been stripped of his emeritus status and barred from campus, and all of his physics lectures removed from OpenCourseWare, because an internal investigation found that he had been sexually harassing students online. I don’t know anything about what happened beyond the terse public announcements, but those who do know tell me that the charges were extremely serious, and that “this wasn’t a borderline case.” I’m someone who feels that sexual harassment must never be tolerated, neither here nor anywhere else.

Nerds en seks. Frits Vaandrager is hoogleraar Informatica en vice-decaan onderzoek Als columnist van voxweb.nl zou ik eigenlijk moeten schrijven over het nieuwe strategische plan van onze universiteit. Maar dat plan is echt onnoemelijk saai vergeleken met de verhitte discussie over nerds en seks die sinds een maand gevoerd wordt in de VS.
De betekenis van het woord ‘nerd’ is de laatste jaren steeds verder opgerekt en inmiddels wordt zo ongeveer iedereen met verstand van computers of wiskunde aangeduid als nerd. Dat klopt niet, want een nerd is per definitie een beetje contactgestoord. Echte nerds trekken zich gefrustreerd terug uit de seksuele arena om zich geheel te wijden aan bèta en techniek, een activiteit waarin ze wel excelleren. Epicentrum van de huidige Amerikaanse discussie over nerds en seks is Scott Aaronson, hoogleraar Quantum Computing aan het MIT.
Aaronson’s getuigenis leidde tot een storm van reacties. Ash on Twitter: "Dear @MIT: You can take whatever disciplinary action against Walter Lewin that you see fit, but taking down lectures is akin to book burning"
