Nobel Prize Winner Tim Hunt on his Remarks About Women Working in Labs On The World for 6-10

Architect: Stop building US prisons with 'spaces intended to torture people'

Albert Woodfox was confined to a Louisiana prison cell all by himself — for 43 years.  But his ordeal could be coming to an end.

FROM THE NEWSROOM:  British scientist, and Nobel Prize winner, Tim Hunt was speaking in front of a room of female scientists, and reportedly told them that the ``trouble with girls working in laboratories is that it leads to romantic entanglements and harms science." Response to Hunt's remarks have been swift and severe. We want to use it as a jumping off point to talk about the current state of women working in the sciences. We've also got a great story from reporter Heidi Shin about generations of Korean women who dive for a living.
