Uproar over dress code for IPAC22 international conference in Bangkok
14 Sept 06:32 Key points summarised by AI
- The 13th International Particle Accelerator Conference (IPAC’22) in Bangkok sparked widespread outrage over its highly restrictive dress code for participants.
- The controversial rules included prohibitions such as no trousers for women, no patterned shirts for men, specific black leather shoes, and no visible tattoos.
- The international physicist community, including Professor David K. Smith, vehemently criticized the dress code as 'ridiculous' and unsuited for an academic conference.
- Following the social media uproar, organizers clarified the code was not final, applied only to the opening day due to royal presence, and subsequently removed the information, promising adherence to international standards.
