Whose portrayals are that scientists are mostly guys with sophomoric senses of humor and no social graces. Women scientists are plain and undesirable.

I despise that program. It does more to malign what science is and who scientists are than anything else in culture. And it is not kind to women.

Fuck all these stereotypes. Especially those that minimize women's contributions to science.
