I'll add 1 more name to this list, bc I literally cannot stand having this info anymore. I've heard several credible allegations against GMU's Dan Houser—that he gropes women PhD students at conferences. Apparently this is an open secret; if you have more info, please speak up!

I wanted to downplay what happened to me. Works sometimes as a self-protection mechanism. I said it's small compared to cases of more forceful harassment or rape.

Back in my day, I managed to get admitted to a couple good PhD programmes in the UK but I had no funding so I applied for an ESRC. Few months later I received an email saying I didn't get it. So, I got a bottle of wine & went to my friend's house to cry about it 1/

It's easy for universities to restrict EJMR from their networks & devices. They should do it not only because it won't allow posts from their premises but also because it'll protect those who've been slandered. Why let Google return EJMR results when we look up a colleague?

This graph is doing rounds in my head. We are bothered by socially induced inequalities, but the “naturally” induced ones won’t trigger sentiments. It’s ok to do better than others as long as you are smarter- not richer. Yet both are a lucky draw.

We find this to be true for antisocial but not prosocial behaviour. Dishonesty is more contagious than honesty. Individuals switch from honesty to lying when they observe another lying, they do not switch from lying to honesty when they observe another telling the truth.
