2015      Female scientists prove they're #distractinglysexy

 

  • (CNN) It's safe to say few tears have been shed by women in science over the resignation of Nobel-winning scientist Sir Tim Hunt after his now infamous comments regarding his experience of "girls" in laboratories.

    "Three things happen when they are in the lab; you fall in love with them, they fall in love with you and when you criticize them, they cry," Hunt said, prompting outcry, then condemnation and now mirth.

    On Twitter, the "girls" of science are doing their best to prove how #distractinglysexy they are, by posting pictures of themselves at work.
