Whitehead Institute Director Ruth Lehmann, in an email to staff, said an independent investigation from an outside law firm \u201cfound that Dr. Sabatini violated the Institute\u2019s policies on sexual harassment among other policies unrelated to research misconduct.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In light of these developments, iBiology has decided to remove Dr. Sabatini\u2019s talks from our website and YouTube channel. Sexual harassment, and toxic work cultures more generally, are serious and underreported problems in science. We are committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM and we want to celebrate those who embody the best ideals of scientific inquiry. With the public information currently available, we feel Dr. Sabatini falls short of our standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On August 20, 2021, David Sabatini was fired from his position at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) and he<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2643,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[2165,650,2214],"class_list":["post-2642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","tag-community","tag-ibiology","tag-message"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/biohackbase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/biohackbase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/biohackbase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biohackbase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biohackbase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2642"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/biohackbase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2642\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biohackbase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/biohackbase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biohackbase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biohackbase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
