Three examples of sexual harassment by prominent science professors at universities have come to light recently.

One of them is former University of Arizona astronomy professor Timothy Slater, who is currently at the University of Wyoming. That situation was made public by U.S. Representative Jackie Speier.

John Hawks, a professor at the University of Wisconsin, wrote a column about sexual harassment at university science departments for the online publication Medium.
