FromĀ Pacific Standard: “Frustrated with the academy’s inaction, McLaughlin started aĀ Change.orgĀ campaignĀ to encourage the National Academy of Sciences to remove alleged harassers from its ranks. Her petitionĀ now has more than 4,000 signatures. SheĀ called out the academy’s president, Marcia McNutt, over Twitter.Ā ButĀ McLaughlin says the problem runs deeper than just theĀ National Academy. She and some like-minded peersĀ are aiming to strip scientists who have beenĀ sanctioned for bad behavior, whether by courts or institutions,Ā of various outside scientific awards and resources. They hope to see such individuals expelled from all of the nation’s top honors for scientists, prevented from being elected to positions of honor, and prevented from receiving federal grants for training other scientists who are early in their careers.”
