AI Thread Summary
Sabur, who made headlines as the youngest female to earn a bachelor's degree in applied mathematics at age 14, continued her education with an M.S. and Ph.D. in materials science and engineering. At just under 19, she became the youngest college professor in history at Konkuk University in Korea. The discussion highlights her remarkable achievements but also raises questions about the implications of her early academic success. Participants ponder her future career trajectory, the challenges she might face in teaching due to her age and unique background, and the societal expectations placed on young prodigies. The conversation also critiques a journalist's question about curing cancer, emphasizing the disconnect between public perception and scientific specialization. Overall, the thread reflects on the balance between extraordinary accomplishments and the typical experiences of youth, alongside a humorous commentary on language use and societal norms.

It's more outrageous than you think. She's Iranian-American. She should be back in her home country covered in acceptable dress, making babies and kebabs, and not worrying herself with science and all those concerns belonging to the male domain. Shameful.

Wow! Really? You know when I was reading this article for my mom 2 days ago, I told her that her dad couldn't be American.hmmm...since she's blonde I'm assuming that her mom must be american.:smile:
As for what you said, hmmmm well the picture is not as dark as you said. The majority of Iranian parents want their daughters to continue their education , become independence...
As for spouses, I see that most of my female classmates are persuaded by their spouses to continue their academic education(getting MSc and then PhD)!
I guess you were referring to some (and not all)of stupid Iranian politicians' opinion's on women.:rolleyes:But the joke is that even these stupid politicians don't want to treat the females of their families that way. :wink:
As for making kebabs, it's something which is done by men in almost any family as far as I know.:-p

PS Thank you very much for sharing interesting articles!
