Can you share a link to the Dawkins' out-of-context joke?
- Red_Tarsius 10y agoI wrote the comment in a hurry, I meant Tim Hunt. Sorry, I'm going to fix the original post. On 8 June 2015, during the 2015 World Conference of Science Journalists in Seoul, at a lunch for female journalists and scientists, Hunt was asked on short notice to give a toast (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Hunt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Hunt). He made a self-deprecating comment and media vultures run with it. He was shamed out of the Royal Society and UCL.
