NOW OUT: The 2022 Lysenko Award. “In my view, our winner exemplifies the spirit of Lysenko. Lysenko was illiterate until he was thirteen, and his inability to grasp basic scientific principles led him to be regarded as a bad joke by actual scientists. (Lysenko’s sociopathic persecution of those who dared disagree with him may well have been because he knew he did not have the chops to defend his positions under traditional academic metrics.) Similarly, our winner is not a law professor or a legal scholar, and, from what I can see, she does not appear to have had any noteworthy accomplishments as a practicing attorney. Instead, she is the ‘Associate Dean for Academic and Student Affairs’ for a law school and the functionary for the school’s ‘Faculty/Staff Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Committee.'”
