NSF’s ongoing failure to address discrimination & harassment in science
The National Science Foundation (NSF) really, really wants you to believe that it cares about diversity. NSF proclaims on its webpage that…

@phylogenomics @AMNH Unfortunately, NSF's protections for REU students are remarkably weak — and it's damn near impossible to get NSF to hold an institution responsible for assigning an REU student to a known harasser. I've been trying for ages.

I created a Google Sheet where anyone can add biased / bigoted comments they got from NSF GRFP reviewers. This is clearly a systemic issue; perhaps we can make progress in addressing it by collecting evidence in a systematic way. Please RT.

On Wednesdays we wear black to ask scientific societies to ban sexual predators from their meetings and revoke their awards. We have been patient, we refuse to be silent. #TakeBackScience #MeTooSTEM #ScienceToo

How scientific societies lie about their #MeTooSTEM policies
The societies that refuse to protect their membership from sexual misconduct lie to victims and our allies in four ways.

@CheloniaGirl A code of conduct that addresses confidentiality & conflicts of interest, and that bans known sexual predators for life & takes their awards away. Society officers should be required to know what the code of conduct says.

@hormiga And then of course there's Jason Lieb, who admitted during a job interview to have had an affair with one of his own students - UChicago hired Lieb anyway, then he raped a student there.

It's impossible to discuss the true extent of bigotry in the scientific community because superfamous bigots like Dawkins are treated as anomalies, whereas nobody has time to learn about the countless D-list science celebs who act abhorrently.
