Above the question was asked if there was a source for the "apology" demand & response from the KOFWST. The answer it, it's still available on the KOFWST web site. [1] Bon courage ( talk) 09:19, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
I see the result of the RFC have been implemented, without taking on board the remarks of the closer relating to WP:PROPORTION
There a number of problems with the simple edit.
The controversy was an example of a social media firestorm started by tweets from Connie St Louis, there are a number of points to that controversy. What was interpreted as sexist was not so much the speech itself but the way the speech was reported by Connie St Louis and included claims that were untrue and took remarks out of context. Untrue claims included that he'd advocated single sex labs, thanked the women for making lunch and that the speech was met with a stony silence. Out of context was the remarks were intended as a self-deprecating joke by a socially awkward and less than worldly individual.
It makes no mention that the social media controversy was engineered in part by 3 people acting together or that from the outset other journalists present denounced the narrative as false.
It makes no mention that even after her narrative was exposed as giving a false picture Connie St Louis simply perpetuated with her claims even after the leak.
It makes no mention of the division in the outrage between those who knew Hunt and were aware he'd always been an advocate for women in science and those who simply went with the social media.
And finally makes no mention there was no transcript and what is widely reported as a quote was written two weeks later based solely on the memory of an official, it is known to include several errors and Connie St Louis herself claims it is wrong.
Finally, and I realise this may be a presumption of bad faith on my part but to balance this expanded section will require an expansion of the article. Feel free to disabuse me of the presumption that having "won" and righted a great wrong to expose the terribly sexist misognynist that you don't intend to do that.

Hi everyone. The RfC close recommended expanding the non-controversy parts of the article. Here are some sources that might help:

I see my edits concerning neutrality have been reverted. The stated objection:
This is undue, both in length and in contents. KOFWST asked him to apologise, so acting like the conference organisers were totally fine with his comments is disingenuous
Indeed, KOFWST after the media furore did ask Tim Hunt to apologise, feel free to add that as a result of the social media furore that was the case. However, the fact remains at the time, confirmed by the same anonymous EU official whose quotation is so vital, also confirmed that the speech was well received. They were in fact so pleased with the speech, they asked him to speak again later that evening.
The suggestion that because they later asked him to apologise after the social media frenzy doesn't change that and to remove it doesn't reflect a neutral tone. Nor does the text restored offer the full narrative of the social media outrage, because it wasn't just the speech as reported but the untrue embellishments as well.

[3] needs to be translated into numbers of patients. And some assessment of impact of the other drugs and conditions involved. And this is just cancers.
Can we pllease stop talking about the speech now?

In our study we evaluated cyclin E1 expression and the possible prognostic value of this protein in neuroblastic tumors in children. Cyclin E1 expression was investigated by means of immunohistochemical analysis of 25 neuroblastic tumor tissue samples. We found a significant correlation between high cyclin E1 expression and deaths due to neoplastic disease. The mean values of cyclin E1 indexes in fatal cases were twice as high as in other cases. The results indicate that high cyclin E1 expression may have prognostic importance in neuroblastic tumors in children.

Are We Prepared for the CDK4/6 Revolution With HR+/HER2− Breast Cancers?: The Importance of Patient Adherence to Adjuvant Therapies. By: Azoz, Seyla, Peters, Martin, Jones, Graham, Breast Cancer: Basic & Clinical Research, 11782234, 11/28/2023 Database: CINAHL Complete
Cancers continue to represent a leading cause of death and major health care burden globally.[ 1] Thanks to enormous and sustained research efforts, many effective therapeutic solutions are now becoming available, including CAR-T, gene therapies, vaccines, and myriad chemotherapeutics.[ 2] In the case of breast cancer, one of the holy grails has been to identify small molecule chemotherapeutic and chemopreventive agents with high efficacy and ease of manufacture. Using precision medicine approaches and targeting the pathways governed by the cyclin-dependent kinase receptors, spectacular breakthroughs have recently been made through CDK4/6 inhibitors which promise to revolutionize prevention and treatment of HR+/HER2− breast cancers.[ 3] No less than 3 effective agents have been fast tracked through regulatory approval: Palbociclib, Abemaciclib, and Ribociclib, the latter being designated by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) as a category 1 preferred first-line treatment.[ 4] Such is the excitement that the entire class has been characterized as "game changing" for oncology patients.[ 5],[ 6] Such expectations however need to be tempered by one of the historical barriers to chemotherapeutics which, while well understood, remains a major obstacle—that of patient medication adherence.[ 7]
These are from Ebsco. I am wildly unqualified to write the explanation of the importance of his discovery, but I am absolutely positive that somebody did do that fifteen or so years ago. And cell growth is also involved in healing, isn't it? 21:54, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

A pancancer analysis of the oncogenic role of cyclin B1 (CCNB1) in human tumors
A pancancer analysis of the oncogenic role of cyclin B1 (CCNB1) in human tumors. By: Dai, Peng, Xiong, Lecai, Wei, Yanhong, Wei, Xiaoyan, Zhou, Xuefeng, Zhao, Jinping, Tang, Hexiao, Scientific Reports, 20452322, 11/20/2023, Vol. 13, Issue 1

Aberrant levels of the G2/M cyclin cyclin B1 (gene CCNB1) have been associated with multiple cancers; however, the literature lacks a focused and comprehensive analysis of the regulation of this important regulator of cell proliferation in cancer. Through this work, we performed a pancancer analysis of the levels of CCNB1 and dissected aspects of regulation and how this correlates with cancer prognosis. We comprehensively evaluated the expression and promoter methylation of CCNB1 across 38 cancers based on RNA sequencing data obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The correlation of CCNB1 with prognosis and the tumor microenvironment was explored. Using lung adenocarcinoma data, we studied the potential upstream noncoding RNAs involved in the regulation of CCNB1 and validated the protein levels and prognostic value of CCNB1 for this disease site. CCNB1 was highly expressed, and promoter methylation was reduced in most cancers. Gene expression of CCNB1 correlated positively with poor prognosis of tumor patients, and these results were confirmed at the protein level using lung adenocarcinoma. CCNB1 expression was associated with the infiltration of T helper cells, and this further correlated with poor prognosis for certain cancers, including renal clear cell carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma. Subsequently, we identified a specific upstream noncoding RNA contributing to CCNB1 overexpression in lung adenocarcinoma through correlation analysis, expression analysis and survival analysis. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the expression and methylation status of CCNB1 across several forms of cancer and provides further insight into the mechanistic pathways regulating Cyclin B1 in the tumorigenesis process.

I invite a rewrite if the excerpt is felt to be excessive. I feel the speech is rather excessive actually. But given a few specifics as to what exactly about cyclin is deemed off-topic to the bio of its discoverer, perhaps I can trim off, for example, the list of anti-cancer drugs that it made possible.
