In June 2019, so I'm a research scientist at MIT.
You are too, right?
And I always have had various supervisors over the years, and they've just basically let me do what I want, which has been great.
But I had a supervisor at the time, and he called me into his office for a regular check-in.
In June of 2019, I reported to MIT that my supervisor had...
grabbed me, pulled me into a hug, wrapped his arms around my waist and started massaging my hip and trying to kiss me, kiss my face, kiss me near the mouth.
And said literally the words, don't worry, I'll take care of your career.
And that experience was really interesting because I just, I was very indignant.
I was like,
he can't do that to me.
Doesn't he know who I am?
And I was like, this is the Me Too era.
And I naively thought that when I reported that, it would get taken care of.
And then I had to go through the whole reporting process at MIT, and I learned a lot about how institutions really handle those things internally, particularly situations where I couldn't provide evidence that it happened.
I had no reason to lie about it, but I had no evidence.
And so...
I was going through that, and that was another experience for me where there's so many people in the institution who really believe in protecting the institution at all costs.
And there's only a few people who care about doing the right thing.
And one of them resigned.
Now there's even less of them left.
