His comments were not going out to nowhere. He directly told the brilliant and incredible grad students, postdocs, particularly people he had no reason to fear because they were in vulnerable and low power positions -- that they did not belong in science

When I was a postdoc, CSHL held a Burns poetry night, which Watson attended.
I did a dramatic reading of Ice Ice Baby.
I hope he found it deeply offensive, and that the graduate students (many of whom he told didn't belong there) found it at least mildly entertaining.
This is a good day for CSHL.

Watson was a racist who, "near the end of his life, faced condemnation and professional censure for offensive remarks, including saying Black people are less intelligent than white people"

We are in the midst of an all-out attempt to exclude the global majority from science. Watson was clear about where he fell on that. I would trade every single dinner, meeting, seminar, fancy campus, and prestigious donor for my incredible friends to be safer. Their science is worth far more.

I was a grad student at UT and attended this lecture. While not one of your professorial colleagues, I was appalled by this lecture, as were nearly all the grad students I know that attended.

Good to know it was not just me who noticed.

I didn’t post this before because I would rather celebrate the amazing science of the here and now and the future then spend any more time on the past.
