Some of you may have heard the flap about Harvard's president, who, according to some reports, said women could never be as good at math and science as men. According to the apology posted on Harvard's website, he had originally intended his remarks to reinforce his "strong commitment to the advancement of women in science." Obviously that didn't work.

That would be really funny if it weren't so sad. I bet Marie Curie is rolling over in her grave.
