Britanski nobelovac dao je ostavku na mjesto počasnog profesora sveučilišta u Londonu zbog izjave da žene u znanosti "samo stvaraju probleme", izvijestio je BBC u četvrtak.
On je na jednoj konferenciji rekao da žene u laboratoriju “plaču” kada ih se kritizira i “zaljubljuju” u muške kolege. Iako se ispričao, njegove izjave izazvale su lavinu reakcija na društvenim mrežama, posebno Twitteru, gdje su znanstvenice diljem svijeta počele objavljivati fotografije uz #distractinglysexy. Fotografirale su se u svojim “izuzetno seksi” radnim odijelima i poslale jasnu poruku.
