Sexual harassment pervades science. This scientist is talking to Congress about how to change that
"If Congress really wants to eliminate sexual harassment, they have to figure out how to fund science better."
Kathryn Clancy has spent years studying the many ways sexual harassment pervades science, from university research labs to field biology sites. This week, she’s taking those findings to Congress.
The University of Illinois anthropology professor has that harassment against women — and in particular, women of color — runs rampant in the space sciences. She’s researchers about the pervasiveness of sexual harassment and assault during scientific field work. She’s universities — which she says haven’t done enough to create change in research labs — to her thousands of Twitter followers.
