Funny you should ask that!

Why WAS Sir Tim Hunt in Seoul?

he was a paying customer, so nobody was his ‘host’ — the ERC sponsored him and two women scientist grantees, whose work he had agreed, as a favour, to go over and promote. When he was falsely accused of ignoring this at the ‘sexism in science’ question because WCSJ mistook him for Ron Winslow, Hunt was listening attentively, a few doors down, to the lectures of Drs. Laefer and Gabrys. He’s more ‘feminism in science’ than ‘sexism in science’, you see.
