Too bad this same article still names male PhDs “Dr” and female PhDs “Ms”. We’re Doctors too, @nytimes!

I think they are all Mr and Ms now. Not sure if that's worse, honestly, or better.

How do the photos affect the merit of his scientific work?
-
More importantly: how does showing those photos affect everyone else's perception of those students? Will they be taken seriously, or have their careers been tanked? This isn't just risque photos--it's shitty mentoring and a failure to advocate for his own students.
-
Unsurprisingly, that failed to answer the question of how it affected his scientific work for which he was being awarded. I understand you are easily offended, but that has little to do with his work.
-
Part of scientific work is to mentor trainees. Why can't you trust the judgement of those who attended the meeting and raised the initial complaint? What benefit is there to making an undo fuss about it?

Omg, this stuff is getting out of control

I know it’s ridiculous that male professors are still sexually harassing young students
-
Harassment, misconduct, discrimination and abuse of power by male and female professors go beyond sex, age and gender. Yes, ridiculous but more widespread than we think. We must prepare young academics to exercise power responsibly, especially at top-ranked institutions.
-
this behavior is way more prevalent in white, cis gendered, heterosexual men and instead of teaching students to grow up to use their power wisely, why don’t we stop awarding harmful behavior in senior scientists?
-
Not instead, also
-
No I don’t believe in putting any responsibility on the victims.
-
Trickle downs don’t work - this behavior must be stopped at the top. We can’t wait it out until well behaved scientists gain power
-
I don’t disagree with you. Let me be clear: yes, misconduct must be stopped at all levels, now, and especially at the top. But you should also consider all those weird/troubled young scientists who will eventually reach seniority and abuse their power, that must be prevented!

Beach wear inappropriate when studying beach animals?
-
Apparently it wasn't just beach wear. "He...acknowledged that the pictures Vogt showed were not just typical documentary photos (of biologists in bikinis)" "There's a big difference between what he does and just (pictures of) students in normal field garb"https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2018/07/13/metoo-jmih-dick-vogt-rochester-herpetologist/782002002/ …

Pics or it didn't happen.
-
Weeee! Let's flippantly meme and/or perpetuate the problem by continuing to disseminate the images in question, rather than trusting the judgement of a room full of people who saw it happen.
-
Depends on the room full of people, doesn't it?
-
-
Or children in the room, depending.
