C &EN and the ACS Women Chemists Committee organized the “Science of Sexual Harassment” symposium at the ACS national meeting in New Orleans last month to continue the discussion of the issue, which we investigated in our Sept. 18 cover story, “Confronting Sexual Harassment in Chemistry.” At the symposium, speakers, including sexual harassment survivors and people working to stop harassment, examined both the psychology of sexual harassment and what communities are doing to stop it in the world of chemistry and beyond.
