James Watson

Who let James Watson into the science club? This dude snubbed Rosalind Franklin, downplayed her role in his work, made terrible remarks about her character, and, let’s not forget, racism, sexism, and antisemitism. Oh, and he tried to use genetics to back up his claims that African Americans are less intelligent than whites. 

Yikes. It’s like he took all the -isms and rolled them into one problematic burrito. I don’t care how smart you are; if you’re spewing hate and disrespecting your colleagues, you don’t deserve a place in the scientific community. It’s time to kick Watson to the curb and make room for scientists who don’t let their bigotry overshadow their work.
