Will kicking out Prof. Hunt over these comments improve physiology?
Will moving a probable sexist give more opportunities to others, especially women?
Or
Giving an inspired physiologist, who's discoveries have tangibly improved lives, the boot over an out of context quote limit further development in his discoveries.
.
Personally I believe public figures should be judged in the context of their field. If a footballer is a drunken idiot off the pitch but inspired on it then we need to judge them for what they are paid for.
If Prof. Hunt purposely limited women's careers in his labs then he should be damned for that. But if his approach is gender blind in his work then these comments should be ignored.
