I saw many #WomenInScience tweeting about #MeToo last night on #QandA. No one tweeted *directly* about Prof Terry Speed, who has been found by an official Title IX investigation @UCBerkeley to have sexually harassed a woman postdoc.https://liorpachter.wordpress.com/2018/01/17/terry-speed-a-male-feminist/ …
Those of you who have tweeted indirectly your support for Prof Terry Speed, who've sympathised with sexual harassers, who claim you want to see MORE evidence even though you're no expert on SH, & who are working to keep the culture of silence alive: you DO NOT stand for women.
Prof Terry Speed's case was made public in mid-January 2018. I wrote to a number of senior STEM leaders who purport to support equity & diversity and almost one month later there's been no response. Lack of public statements and silence over sexual harassment is INDEFENSIBLE.
Just ugh. When a mutual acquaintance with a fairly high-profile account felt that this was time to drop out of the mainstream here, I can't even. As a middle-aged white man, if it took a plague that wiped out my ilk - if that's what it takes. *shrugs*
Courageous people we mutually admire have more integrity than all these senior people put together.
Too bloody right.
