She looks like one of the OJ jurors who couldn’t spell “DNA.”
[W]ho exactly is Connie St Louis? And why, exactly, should we trust her word over that of a Nobel laureate? (…)
Here, on a page outlining her CV, she is described as follows:
‘Connie St Louis . . . is an award-winning freelance broadcaster, journalist, writer and scientist. She presents and produces a range of programmes for BBC Radio 4 and BBC World Service . . . She writes for numerous outlets, including The Independent, Daily Mail, The Guardian, The Sunday Times, BBC On Air magazine and BBC Online.’
All very prestigious. Comforting, no doubt, for potential students considering whether to devote a year of their lives (and money) to completing an MA course under her stewardship. Except, that is for one small detail: almost all of these supposed ‘facts’ appear to be untrue.
It gets worse.
However, I’d add that Sir Tim Hunt was stupid to resign, and his employers were stupid to demand/accept his resignation.
