What people need to remember and appreciate that changing the default “atmosphere”, so that bad things like this don’t happen in the first place is much much more important than “punishing” the person(s) who did this bad thing.

People need to calm down, express outrage/disapproval whatever at what happened, then sit back and wait a reasonable amount of time for a response. Expecting a speed of light response from a corporate entity, particularly an entity that is as old as SciAm,but in any case any legally constituted corporate entity, shows substantial naivety in how corporations work – especially public corporations. Think fiduciary responsibility.

I would hope that people calling for a boycott might think about what that means for DN Lee who has been a successful blogger on this post.

It might be useful for Bora to: be totally transparent about what transpired over the weekend; sincerely apologize to DN Lee; clarify the “policy” that led to taking down her post; ask for, publicize, and TAKE suggestions on how we might reduce casual misogyny/racism in STEM fields. He could turn this episode into a teachable moment that rewards Lee’s efforts.
