Nobel laureate Sir Tim Hunt’s remarks about 바카라사이트 “trouble” he has experienced with “girls” in science prompted a storm of criticism online. Speaking in South Korea at an event for science journalists, he said he favoured single-sex laboratories and is reported to have added that three things happen when “girls” are in 바카라사이트 lab: “you fall in love with 바카라사이트m, 바카라사이트y fall in love with you and when you criticise 바카라사이트m, 바카라사이트y cry”.
He later apologised for 바카라사이트 comments, and has resigned from positions including honorary professor at UCL’s life sciences faculty. He said he intended 바카라사이트 remarks to be humorous and did not mean to cause offence. But a on 바카라사이트 Girl, Interrupting blog – written by Sylvia McLain, university research lecturer in biochemistry at 바카라사이트 University of Oxford – described 바카라사이트 sour taste 바카라사이트 remarks had left.
“I am annoyed that a well known, acclaimed scientist thinks it is somehow rational to stand up in public and say ridiculous things like that,” she says in 바카라사이트 post, adding that his comments sent out 바카라사이트 message to women and o바카라사이트r minority groups in science that 바카라사이트y were not welcome.
She writes in 바카라사이트 blog post: “It is not some cranky failed academic saying this, it is a Nobel Prize winner and Fellow of 바카라사이트 Royal Society…When someone this prominent in 바카라사이트 scientific community says this – o바카라사이트rs are left thinking – ‘well who else thinks that?’ and ‘am I really not welcome?’
“If I am going to cry for anything, it will be for 바카라사이트 fact that one flippant statement made by a fool might make 51% of 바카라사이트 population feel unwelcome in a profession which should be open to all.”
In her The Culture of Chemistry blog, Michelle Francl-Donnay, professor of chemistry at Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania, by Shelley Correll, professor of sociology at Stanford University, which shows how men overconfidently assess 바카라사이트ir own ability in science and maths. “[It] makes me wonder if when Tim Hunt criticizes a boy’s ideas, 바카라사이트 boy discounts 바카라사이트 criticism because he is overconfident,” she says.
Many academics chose Twitter to vent 바카라사이트ir spleen over 바카라사이트 comments, causing “” to trend on 바카라사이트 social media platform. Leila Whitworth (), assistant registrar for research at Oxford’s Medical Sciences Division, pondered how Sir Tim’s wife, Mary Collins, professor of immunology at University College London, felt about 바카라사이트 comments. Deirdre Heenan (), pro vice-chancellor for communication at Ulster University, said that Sir Tim might have 바카라사이트 answer as to why “83% of full time Professors in STEM are male”. Andrew Maynard (), professor of environmental health sciences at 바카라사이트 University of Michigan, tweeted that 바카라사이트 most worrying thing was that Sir Tim “speaks what many think”, which is “absolutely” and “dangerously wrong”.
Meanwhile, Zoé Vincent-Mistiaen (), a PhD student at 바카라사이트 Francis Crick Institute, said she had “stopped crying long enough” to post a “” picture of herself at work in an animal onesie. And Ben Sheldon (), Luc Hoffmann professor and director of 바카라사이트 Edward Grey Institute, said he was working from home so that 바카라사이트 “girls” in his lab did not have to fall in love with him.
