Let's hope for a world where science will one day be above believing media misquotes

I am sure you are a much better man who has achieved a great deal more in your life Tim than your ill informed and humourless detractors. As for UCL...

I am horrified that a few light hearted tongue in cheek comments that Tim Hunt made about women caused him to resign or be dismissed. This is a ridiculous over reaction. He is a loss to the profession. Bring him back now!

He made a joke that cleary shows that he likes working with women. I suspect that a woman making the same or an equivalent joke would have been applauded.

Everyone has the right to qualify what they said in the first place, without that right misunderstanding rules.

Much ado about nothing. UCL should simply reiterate their gender neutral employment policy, and reinstate Prof Hunt.

Appalling example of selective reporting that drives a knee-jerk response from UCL and others.

All this dedicated scientist lost over these idiotic comments was all of his jobs, title, funding, and everything he had built up over a lifetime? That's not enough for me. Does he still have a family or a car? These things should all be taken from him forever as well. That would indeed teach him and everyone a valuable lesson.

Helen Smith - Couldn't you save your intolerance and mean-spirited prejudice for someone that actually deserves it?

Sir Tim Hunt must be fully reintegrated. The way he was treated by the Academic authority in his own University is shameful. We must oppose the integrists who try to eradicate irony and humour. Paraphrasing the Charlie Hebdo case I propose to call this petition "I am Tim".

Save your sympathy for causes that matter. Not a whining, over privileged, rich, white man :(

Who among us, like Prof. Hunt, has not embarrassed themselves with an appallingly bad joke that some failed to get? Grow up.

outrageous how far this PC witch hunt has gotten. Are we full scale back to McCarthyism or what?
