Science is not a welcoming place for women, even today, and the only people who can truly make it more welcoming are the men who run the show. If a stellar scientist walks into work -- and then says hello to the whole world -- wearing a sexist shirt, what kind of message are we sending to future scientists?

What a crock. I cannot say that I have ever felt "unwelcome" in science. I haven't ever counted the PhD scientist women where I work, but I think there are as many of us as there are PhD scientist men.

Who was that guy who was drummed out of some Ivy League school for pointing out that (many) women do not have the temperament for science? And then liberal women bent over backwards whining and generally proving that his statement was right? If there aren't "enough" women in science, one must look at the women--there are no male "gatekeepers" keeping us out!

Okay. I'll get off the soapbox and point out that that shirt *is* incredibly tacky.

I’ve been watching the science channel all day.

Anyone who says there aren’t any women in science is an idiot.

President of Harvard, if I recall correctly.

And he wasn't drummed out for pointing out that many women do not have the temperament for science - he was drummed out for asking why it seemed women don't have the temperament for science.
