Oh my goddess - this is Tim Hunt's wife!!! ARRRRGH. No wonder she supported him as a "victim" of women.
Her talk in Japan. His in Seoul.

I've clicked & found it. Add that to Hunt's recent Starmus comments and I'm angry all over again that anyone doubted the South Korea furore.

I think he's oblivious to the impact of his words. He is a great scientist but is also a liability re women and science.

Seen this? I'm swayed by argument: "If you find out someone is [doing harm] their work is not good." TW harassment: https://medium.com/@violetblue/but-he-does-good-work-6710df9d9029 …

His scientific work can live or die on its own merits. Doing harm is always a different matter: it's always on you, I think

Or to put that another way: whatever the value of his scientific work, it's not the point. Except insofar as it has empowered him to do harm

Exactly - he's gotten away with it because of his status. So many high-profile people defended him. He could've apologised but doubled down.
