Tim Hunt shows why old men should be banned from science | Dean Burnett

72-year-old Nobel prize winner Tim Hunt has caused controversy by saying laboratories should be segregated along gender lines. However, there is evidence to suggest that science should be more exclusive. It should exclude old men

Tim Hunt, 72-year-old Nobel laureate, is currently at the centre of a big controversy for his remarks about women in science. He argued that gender-segregated labs were the answer, because "they cause men to fall in love with them and cry when criticised". In his defence, Tim Hunt is the product of gender-segregated education himself, and it clearly hasn't left him with a warped perspective on the opposite sex.
