Sir Tim Hunt, a brilliant biochemist, says his career has been ruined by a huge overreaction to a joke that he admits was wrong. His wife, Mary Collins, one of Britain’s most senior immunologists, and a committed feminist, agrees that the reaction has gotten way out of hand.
The University of London has fired Tim Hunt for "sexism," even though people who know him well have confirmed that he is not a sexist in any way.
Overreaction or justified firing?
