Harassment In The Sciences

What happens to taxpayer money when scientists are faced with accusations or findings of wrongdoing?

Advocates see this as a concrete signal to the scientific community that bad behavior won't be tolerated.

Some members of the science community are fighting to ensure that a finding of harassment leads to consequences far beyond whatever the university decides—including their removal from the National Academy of Sciences.

Meanwhile, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is struggling with its own controversy over whether it properly punishes member harassers.

Scientists found to have harassed colleagues or subordinates are now open to having their NSF grants revoked.
