by Ingrid Wreden Kåss, Kilden, Norway – At CERN, the world’s largest particle physics laboratory, only about 10 percent of the physicists on the permanent staff are women (see statistics).
“CERN is an organization that is founded, developed, maintained, organized and operated by and for men. Women have come on board at a later time,” says Camilla Røstvik, a researcher of art history and the history of science.
She describes the male dominance at the laboratory as overwhelming.
