Broad Science

The #MeToo Movement in STEM


Listen Later

On Bite Size Science we’ll be discussing an editorial published last month in Science Magazine entitled “Instagram won't solve inequality” and the responses following this article, including that by science.sam (Samantha Yammine).
Our main story will examine sexual harassment and assault in the academic science fields. We will hear about the lived experience of Ada, a survivor of sexual harassment (17.40min). We also spoke to Dr. Robin Nelson, a biological anthropologist at Santa Clara University who along with her colleagues, has spent years examining the prevalence and impact of sexual harassment in science academia(35.29min). Lastly, we spoke to Dr. Karen Kelsky, the creator of the "crowdsourced survey of sexual harassment in the academy,” which went viral and has accumulated thousand of entries from anonymous individuals all over the world (48.00min).
