In defence of Tim Hunt: Judge by actions, not words
Sexist comments made by my former boss Tim Hunt are not an indication that he is biased against women, argues Alessia Errico.
“From 2004 until December 2010, I worked as a scientist in the London laboratory of Tim Hunt. Given the media frenzy over his comments this month about women scientists, and the way he has been portrayed as sexist, you might think that I had a miserable time. Not at all; it was a great experience. He was an inspiring and supportive mentor. Not once did I feel that he treated me differently because I was a woman.”
