Just a small comment, thanks for writing this up but she claimed to be an anthropologist, and it seems maybe also a geologist but I don’t think paleoontolgist. She was particularly claiming to be teaching anthro classes which was one of the red flags.

Very strange. I saw references to a few tweets from a few months back talking about anthropology, and that seemed to be how most people understood her field. Tweets are gone now with the suspension, not sure if there are more screenshots.

Screenshots I was working from referencing teaching classes in April don't mention subject. In June came claims to have been student of the accused Harvard anthropologists. Would love to see full tweet archive if anyone has it!

I will try to find some screenshots, they have been floating around. Don’t think anyone has a full archive.

Everyone who interacted with the account said she was in anthropology. It is hard to verify because of the lack of screenshots but I am certain that she mentioned it more than once.
