That we can so openly criticize one of the greatest theoretical physicists -- who is now dead and cannot defend himself -- is a testament to the rather elevated status of women in Western society. I urge that we exercise balance; Academia has swung too far Left.

Griffith Observatory has benefitted from City of LA mandatory sexual harassment training for all employees. At least the attempt is made to illustrate to everyone examples of sexual harrassement, why it is harmful, how it is to be reported, investigated, and stopped.

This helps all staff members to recognize problems and provides a process to deal with them. Are students provided with a similar program?

"Caltech professors ... continue defending Ott to my peers and me, claiming that the female students who endured his inappropriate and discriminatory behavior ruined his career." WTF? Ott ruined his own career and he took a few dozen with him.

Yeah, I read your piece ): Unfortunately there are a few profs in the Astro department who still defend him to students and others.

Good article. For what it’s worth, whenever I teach about Feynman, which I do, I take a couple minutes to discuss his problematic history with women and why it matters. It’s a good opportunity to have discussion of ethics, gender, history within a scientific context.

What bugs me the most about this is that I read these books in college (was physics/astro major) and laughed along with him. I learned to think badly of women, as the books reinforced what I had already been taught by our society. It's still deeply ingrained in my mind. Ugh.

Lots of contact with F in and out of class. As a lecturer he was incredibly lucid, but in general he was a complete d..., and you dialed him in very well. Thing is they let him be, and left him alone. No peers to tell him to behave, let alone that he was not center of Universe.
