      1/ The most popular job board for evolutionary biologists and ecologists is the "ecoevejobs" Google spreadsheet. It's visited by hundreds a day, perhaps thousands during hiring season. Shortly after I published "The Dangerous Denial of Sex" for @WSJ, somebody posted this "job."pic.twitter.com/jiBHwzTDE9

      2/ A similar "job" was posted last year during the peak of the academic hiring season. Hundreds to thousands of scientists in my field and related fields saw these. It's impossible to determine how much these listings damaged my reputation and hirability before being taken down.

          3/ THIS is what early career scientists and other academics can fully expect to happen to them if they publicly question academic orthodoxy. It's absolutely disgusting behavior.

          4/ Special thanks to @drrollergator who came to my aid & wrote a script that searched the spreadsheets for my name every minute & would automatically text me the instant my name appeared. He kept the script running continuously for months during the hiring season. Thanks buddy!

          5/ After the first incident I contacted the board operator to see if they could implement approval of submissions before they are posted to prevent this. I was told that it would simply be too difficult. If it can't be properly moderated, then boards like this shouldn't exist.

          6/ Now that I've left academia, I don't particularly care if my name is defamed this way on job boards. But what does bother me is that these silencing tactics send a message to current academics with heterodox beliefs: Stay silent, or you can expect the same treatment.

          I'm looking into it, for sure.
