The excellent Dr Kevin Fong giving light to clinicians' experience during the pandemic.

Oh it’s that time of year again when men get top gongs and cash in a way that totally misrepresents science and the scientific process, and we all go along and reinforce the Great Man Theory of the history of science, which is absolute pernicious arseblart. Great.

Well done to all the men saying that they deserved the prizes for their work. You are idiots. The work is good and worthy of recognition. The problem is the prize itself, which is antithetical to science, and the process of science. The prizes are the result of lobbying.
