jonny (good kind)@deevybee hell yeah Dr. Bishop
sunflowerinrain@deevybee Thank you for sharing all this illuminating information. As a long-time non-scientific admirer of the Royal Society, I hope they clean up the contamination soon.
Stephen Royle@deevybee it's far more than a blip to me, Dorothy. I am in awe, even knowing you to be a scientist with high values and utter integrity. It would be so easy to look the other way like all the other FRSs. Obviously they should dump him and ask you to return!
Adam Jacobs 🇺🇦@deevybee Can't have been an easy thing to do. I am in massive admiration of your principled stand.
Nice one!
Laurent Gatto@deevybee Thank you for sharing this.
Your decision to resign must have been difficult. Speaking truth to power is an inspiration and an example for many (certainly for me) this is all too often missing. Thank you.
Benjamin S-B 
@deevybee wow, that is quite the bombshell. I hope it will make a positive impact. I have the greatest respect for your decision. Putting principle over privilege doesn't happen nearly often enough
Aral Balkan
Androcat@deevybee It is interesting that a know-nothing venture capitalist passed muster in the first place.
His accomplishments are limited to buying stuff and then running it rather poorly.
Bill Hooker
Wouter 🛰️@deevybee It may not be a blip on the timeline, but this surely sends a signal that hopefully will not be ignored.
THANK YOU
Eat This Podcast@deevybee Your courage is inspiring. I'm old enough to remember the saga of the Director of Education at the RS whose views on creationism were “open to misinterpretation”. The Socety is not great at handling this sort of thing.
Sune AukenBravo. Well done and well written. This is how you defend the standing of an institution of science! Thank you.
Barney Dellar (he/him)@deevybee Wow, well done. That must have been such a difficult decision.
MidgePhoto@deevybee
I'd not realised he was FRS. I wonder what the current R would think.

Stephen EglenGreat post Dorothy -- thank you for speaking out.
@deevybee Respect for having the courage of your convictions.
soaproot@deevybee Quite a detailed trip through the Code of Conduct of the Royal Society. A worthwhile exposition even if in this case it is not carrying the day.
Ulrike Hahn@deevybee @knutson_brain I am so impressed! thank you!!
@deevybee @knutson_brain it’s making a real splash..
bk@UlrikeHahn Mad respect to @deevybee !
Workshopshed@deevybee a well thought out and reasoned article
EJ@deevybee Well done!!
Peter Cock@deevybee an important post and principled stand to take, thank you.
Is it easy to update the header to include your Mastodon profile (next to or instead of your Twitter)?
The Void ザ・ヴォイド@deevybee Much respect. Well done, well said.
Hilda Bastian@deevybee You're awesome!!!
Alan Langford 🇨🇦🧤🧊摏
NatalyaD@deevybee Your blogpost is much clearer than the Guardian article.
I think you have done the right thing.
I hope more people will follow you.

SamuelJohnson@deevybee 👏A former colleague is a Fellow. I will forward your blog post.
Vesna Manojlović@deevybee thank you. & to quote another great woman: https://hachyderm.io/@evacide/113546553529521263 “I don't fight because I'm sure I'm going to win. I do it because I know that a world in which I don't fight will be worse.”
Rosalind Halton@deevybee
A Sad story indeed

Micke@deevybee Well done!
Claire Boilley@deevybee This. THIS is what it means to be a scientist. Thank you so much!
Boris BarbourNothing like a few years experience of publisher and institutional investigations of research misconduct to get a good feeling for the likely result of the Royal Society procedure.
@BorisBarbour
I have to say, I did have exactly that sense

Björn BrembsThat's precisely what your post conjured up in my mind!
Arlen Moller@deevybee @matrig 🎯 “The problem with this course of action is that if you are uncertain about doing something that seems morally right but may have consequences, then it is easy to find a lawyer who will advise against doing it. That's just how lawyers work. They're paid to rescue people from ethical impulses that may get them into trouble.”
