Tim Hunt

Is what happened to Tim Hunt another example of overkill? Sure, he said something stupid but does it warrant destroying an illustrious career?

Guys, be careful what you say and do out there, unless you want to get fired.

Considering there is a significant list of accomplishments (including Nobel awards) of female scientists, it is a rather stupid male chauvinistic comment to make.

It was stupid to say but should he be fired? It's an interesting world with one strike you are out

Why, oh why, couldn't this guy's first name be Mike? It would make life so much more funny.

I wouldn't fire him but I'd get him on sensitivity training and away from interviewers where he seems to just weigh in deeper at every interview. Judging from his comments about female scientists chasing him and female scientists being a distraction - it is surprising he hasn't had a harassment suit brought against him.

Duncan Keith was lucky he wasn't fired. Worse, the female reporter could have filed a complaint with the Human Rights Commission (they love to dump on males).
