“The Whitehead probe concluded that Sabatini fostered a sexualized lab environment in which he rewarded those who participated in sexual banter; threatened retaliation against lab members if they raised questions about his conduct; and threatened another faculty member who refused to hire a young visiting scientist whom Sabatini would later marry. It also found that he and Knouse carried on, against Whitehead rules, a sexual relationship.”

@CantlonLab
Thank you @CantlonLab for your continued leadership in this space. The quotes matter. I appreciate it!
@NicoleCRust thanks Nicole! I’m glad this article got the facts right — Knouse was a STUDENT at the time, and she’s NOT THE ONLY student who complained about the sexual harassment of Sabatini.
Heartwarming to see abhorrent behavior and actions continue to be rewarded with impunity. After all he is an "embattled scientist", poor guy, needs a multi-million dollar relaunch.
@CantlonLab "embattled"...
