Lab suspends DNA pioneer Watson

The Nobel Prize-winning DNA pioneer James Watson has been suspended by his research institution in the US.

Dr Watson has drawn severe criticism over remarks he made in a British newspaper at the weekend.

In the interview, he was quoted as saying Africans were less intelligent than Europeans.

The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory had already distanced itself from the scientist's comments but its trustee board has also now suspended him.

A statement from the Long Island, New York, institution said the action was being taken "pending further deliberation by the board".

What a crock of shit.

Yep, and now due to the "black eye" this misconception of his work has created, it, as well as he, will be discredited, and any directly useful information (such as different races' abilities being prone to having different reactions to medication, anemia, etc), can not be used as reference material by his (former) colleagues.
