Just FYI - dinner is normal esp at conferences, collabs, etc. but pool? 1 on 1 at the pool with a junior researcher ? Yeah nohttps://twitter.com/AnimaAnandkumar/status/1067941004450263040 …

I lead a lab. I see very little real workplace need to have solo dinners with junior females (or males). It is perfectly possible to be an excellent mentor and good friend to the younger people without potentially ambiguous situations. The pool thing is just...beyond gross.
I am perfectly fine with dinners when we are short on time or we are meeting at cafes on weekends to discuss a project closer to home. In this case the invitation to the pool and giving me those looks makes it an unmistakable advance. That is more important than anything else

Absolutely. As PI, though, one needs to be sensitive. The power differential is so large - visas, careers - that one can inadvertently frighten young people. I’d rather just help young women get grants and then *they can invite me* to dinner to say “thank you.” That works.
