"In case you missed it, Nobel Prize-winning scientist Tim Hunt, the British laureate, caused a firestorm this week when he said that female scientists are a distraction to their male counterparts.

“Let me tell you about my trouble with girls,” he was reported as saying. “Three things happen when they are in the lab: You fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticise them, they cry.”

The comments on social media in response are great... especially the one falling in love with her centrifuge.
