#1 Dr. Jeannie T. Lee, who studies X chromosome inactivation at Harvard Medical School,

Harvard? Isn't she asking for trouble?

I once read a study that suggested that, as a rule, male doctors were better as researchers, and female doctors were better at dealing with patients. Both could perform the actual doctoring, diagnosis, surgery, etc., equally well, but the women had the better skills in dealing in one area, and the men had better in the other. It was a personality issue.

So here is a woman doctor at Harvard, where there has been a recent controversy, who is doing research on sex differences. Go figure...

#2 This topic doesn't need much in the way of study. If one wants to discern between a male and a female chromosome, simply pull down their genes.

#4 "Men and women-they be different." - the great comic Sinbad.

If he can get it, why does Harvard have such a hard time?
