Although acknowledging that parts of it praised women scientists, she wrote that she found Hunt’s speech troubling even after she asked him for clarification. Reporting on accusations that Hunt had been taken out of context, conflicting recollections of the phrase “now seriously” became a focal point for many commentators.
