Reminder: I wrote to @Science_Academy on 19 of January 2018 to advise that Prof Terry Speed, Fellow and one of the co-funders of their national gender initiative, had been found to have sexually harrassed a woman postdoc & creating hostile environment for another man. 1/ #metoo

Reminded the Academy of other harassment complaints I knew of while I was managing the national gender initiative (SAGE); plans I asked them to address on SH & discrimination (2015-2016); & gave them tips to start addressing these issues. They said they'd respond. Never did. 2/

I noted: "I cannot see the Academy's anti-sexual harassment statement, nor its equity and diversity statement on the website, although these were two things that I strongly advocated in my time at the Academy." They've still done nothing on this since January. It's June. 3/

'As I said in my time at the Academy, it is not enough to simply host the Athena SWAN program; the Academy & SAGE both as entites should be leaders in policy & practice to end harassment and discrimination, and to increase inclusion.' Again: 6mths later. They've done nothing. 4/

'I hope that putting up these statements on Prof Speed, anti-harassment and on equity & diversity will be the first steps made to publicy address this matter, along with a clear action plan for how the Academy & SAGE will handle SH and discrimination...' None of this happened. 5/
