Scientists under attack: The Impact of Internet-Facilitated Harassment of Researchers
The Internet-Facilitated Harassment of Researchers shouldn't be a problem, but it is. Dr Periwinkle Doerfler joins us to discuss this issue, the experience of it, its impact on minority research and researchers, the institutions involved with it and what we can do to reduce its harms. Vanessa Henri joins us to answer my silly questions about the names of law firms and whether or not it is better for a cyberlawyer to get their start at a big law firm?
