Fireside Discussion Addressing Harassment of Researchers

Researchers across disciplines are facing unprecedented levels of intimidation and harassment from external actors who aim to discredit, delay, or end their work altogether. This abuse has dire consequences for researchers, their institutions, and society as whole–reflected notably in declining levels of trust in the scientific community and higher education.

To discuss this alarming rise in researcher intimidation and how to address it, we welcome you to join us for a fireside discussion and panel with special guests Will Creeley, Renee Direstra, Mary Anne Franks, Alex Abdo, Rebekah Tromble, and Holden Thorp, among others. 

This event will unveil new researcher support tools and discussions will anchor on ways the community can come together to support researchers. Please save the date, and we will share further details about the event as they evolve.
