When her talk was finished it was time for questions. One professor asked about several of the distinctions in her research. Another asked if she had included the proper level of diversification in her sampling procedures. When a third began to talk about how they thought Marissa had distorted her key findings, the room dissolved into groups arguing quite loudly. The room only quieted when Professor Bell stood up to defend Marissa. It was quite a dividend to see her rebuke all of those middle-class, white male professors. But as Marissa saw the scene her research had caused, she knew that more would come when she disseminated her findings to the rest of the world. Professor Bell wouldn't be able to calm that storm.
