Britanski nobelovac Tim Hunt dao je ostavku na mjesto počasnog profesora univerziteta u Londonu zbog izjave da žene u nauci "samo stvaraju probleme", prenio je BBC u četvrtak.
Iako se izvinio, njegove izjave izazvale su lavinu reakcija na društvenim mrežama, posebno Twitteru, gdje su naučnice diljem svijeta počele objavljivati fotografije uz #distractinglysexy.
Fotografirale su se u svojim “izuzetno seksi” radnim odijelima i poslale jasnu poruku.
