Should all men be removed from labs?

Only if they keep falling in love with their colleagues.

Should all men be removed from labs?

Just another educated idiot with no idea how to relate to other humans. Just because he can't work with women without falling in love lust with them and has no idea how to debate without reducing people to tears. He might be an intellectual monster when it comes to cell multiplication but don't invite the muppet to your barbecue.

He should change his first name to Warwick.

Boris Johnson calls for 'sexist' Nobel scientist Tim Hunt to be given job back | Daily Mail Online

Boris might be right that women cry more than men. But no reason for them to be excluded from the labs. Boris proves what a pillock he is, yet again. How long until he is PM?

I just hope UCL have no one who has continued at the college with worse offences. Whilst he was a stupid old buffer its not exactly gross misconduct. A re-education course should have covered it.

maybe he should have hung on and forced them to fire him.

A chap called Professor Tim Hunt
Thought it funny to speak rather blunt
On the subject of women
But it only did him in
He shouldn't have been such a sexist throwback.

Outrageous that this Nobel winning scientist, who has worked on a cure for cancer, should be bullied out of his job because of a single, small, possibly silly and possibly humorous remark. Absolutely outrageous.

Just as infamous as the bullying/removal of one of the astro physicists who put the Rosetta probe on an asteroid earlier in the year. Why ? He had a slightly saucy picture on his T shirt (if you looked very carefully). On his T shirt FFS. The chap had just partaken in, arguably, the greatest achievement in human history to date. But somebody thought a detail on a shirt was more important, more important to get their own way, more important to play a power game with the chap and make him cry on national TV. More important to get him to apologise for breathing. I repeat: he had just completed one of the greatest achievements in human history.

These are crimes against science and against education. The degree of spite and selfishness needed to perpetrate them is breathtaking. The instigators are boorish and ignorant. That the institutions involved allowed it to happen is an indication of the wretched condition they are in: cowardly, afraid and backward.

Rosetta probe one was fine. People need to grow up about that. He was not anti women.

But Tim Hunt is. Pleased he left. People like Nigel Short and him are dinosaurs.
