I recently learned about another woman who had left her PhD program because all the men in her lab wouldn't stop hitting on her and harassing her.

This is not the first time I have heard a story like this.

I am not usually prone to fits of uncontrollable rage, but I have been fucking seething.

We need to do better.

@caterinevauban Yes. Fortunately, at least in my field the top publication venues pretty much universally use double-blind review — but even that only started over the last decade or two

@dan Cultural change can be stupidly sluggish.
