If you missed it, earlier this week Nobel Prize-winning scientist Sir Tim Hunt made sexist remarks during a conference in Seoul.
“Let me tell you about my trouble with girls,” the British scientist reportedly said. “You fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticize them, they cry!”
Not a great statement to make at a conference honoring women in science.
Many women in the field took to Twitter to give Hunt a piece of their mind:
So online magazine Vagenda suggested that women scientists upload pictures of themselves at work with the hashtag #DistractinglySexy in protest:
In response, women scientists quickly began tweeting photos of themselves in their very sexy work attire:
Here come the sexy astrophysicists:
Sexy wildlife biologists:
Sexy archeologists at work here, be careful:
Don't even get us started on Marie Curie, that cutie:
The only thing better than the images being shared are the sarcastic captions that go along with them.
"Filter mask protects me from hazardous materials and muffles my woman cries."
"Fell in love with the microcentrifuge... typical woman in the lab."
"Women researchers are too hot to have in the lab — even when we're cold."
"To be fair, exploration geology is the sultriest science."
"Not to mention getting off... in a helicopter."
But hopefully everyone heeds his advice and preps their lab spaces accordingly.
