American men in STEM have a reputation for failing to stop other men egregiously harassing women.
- “How Women Are Harassed Out of Science”
- “Sexual harassment in the field of scientific research is a longstanding issue that deters some women from pursuing their educational and career goals”
- “Sexual harassment — and the ignorance and disregard of it — is tightly woven into the fabric of academia”
- “Bias, Harassment Drive Women from STEM Jobs“
A new case confirms this reputation, of Americans facilitating harms that predominantly impact women, with some very clear examples.
Despite sending unwanted sexual emails and other “invasive” behavior, David Gilbert carried two NIH grants to a new institution and was awarded $2.5 million in new money.
