The Cambridge Whistleblowing Saga

This is an update concerning the Employment tribunal I mentioned a couple of weeks ago.

The claimant in the case is Professor Wyn Evans of the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Cambridge. Now that he has finished given evidence, it is now possible to release some of the background publicly. You can read a summary here. If you follow that link you will see reference to this guest post, published on this blog in late 2022:

https://telescoper.blog/2022/11/02/guest-post-the-bullying-of-hannelore/

That old post was carefully anonymised for legal reasons, but it can now be revealed that the Department concerned is, nor surprisingly given the affiliation of the claimant, the Intitute of Astronomy at the University of Cambridge.

I will refrain from commenting further as the case is ongoing, but you can follow updates here. There is also piece about the case in the Guardian here.

P.S. Yes, it has taken a very long time for the matter to reach a head.

An Employment Tribunal

I only have time for a brief post here to point out that today saw the start of an Employment Tribunal in Bury St Edmunds in a case brought by Neil Wyn Evans relating to the Institute of Astronomy at Cambridge University. I gather the proceedings will take up to four weeks. For more details see here, where updates will be provided as the case continues.

I can’t comment further because the matter is sub judice.
