This short story was very good. It addresses biases; specifically where gender roles are concerned. The female professor and the class full of males all had biases to overcome. She didn’t think they’d learn from her. They didn’t think she had anything to teach. They were all wrong. The least likely to be reached had the most valuable input. I loved the theme of it as well & I wish I analyzed crime scenes as a job.
