Taylor: “I made a big mistake and I offended many people, and I’m very sorry about this.” #philae Now, onto the science.
.@RachelFeltman @edyong209 Good for Taylor. Point of #shirtstorm not 2 cast him 2outer darkness, but 2 counter barriers to women in science
-
@TomLevenson@RachelFeltman Exactly. And a genuine apology is powerful in that regard. -
@edyong209@TomLevenson@RachelFeltman It sounded genuine to me. He seemed to have trouble speaking, was choked up. -
@AstroKatie@edyong209@TomLevenson@RachelFeltman I have spoken with him personally and believe him to be genuinely remorseful. -
@elakdawalla@AstroKatie@edyong209@TomLevenson@RachelFeltman This means a lot. -
@edyong209@TomLevenson@RachelFeltman key is differentiating act from the person as per this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0Ti-gkJiXc … -
@elakdawalla@AstroKatie@TomLevenson@RachelFeltman I'm really chuffed that there was no non-pology. V. grateful for sincere statement. -
@edyong209@elakdawalla@AstroKatie@TomLevenson@RachelFeltman Really glad to see this. -
@edyong209@elakdawalla@AstroKatie@TomLevenson@RachelFeltman I think it's great. Everyone should have the chance to mess up and move on. -
@edyong209@elakdawalla@AstroKatie@TomLevenson@RachelFeltman Same here. -
@edyong209@David_Dobbs@elakdawalla@AstroKatie@TomLevenson@RachelFeltman Maybe@ESA_Rosetta has an apology, too? -
@docfreeride@edyong209@David_Dobbs@elakdawalla@AstroKatie@RachelFeltman@ESA_Rosetta From ESA I'd like tos ee more than an apology 1/2 -
2/2
@docfreeride@edyong209@David_Dobbs@elakdawalla@AstroKatie@RachelFeltman@ESA_Rosetta I want a big, bad, bold statement of inclusion -
@TomLevenson@edyong209@elakdawalla@AstroKatie@RachelFeltman@ESA_Rosetta are you never satisfied? you'll be asking for his job next -

@TomLevenson@elakdawalla@AstroKatie@RachelFeltman people wanted an apology, they got 1, now you want a BIGGER one, what's next? -
.
@94_jasy@elakdawalla@AstroKatie@RachelFeltman Yo! Listen up. Pay attention 2 what's actually said, not the howler monkeys in yr head -
