#29 ULTRAVIOLET WAVES: Sexual harassment in science

The scientific world is not a bubble, it is related to objectivity and neutrality, and it makes it difficult for society to think that there is also sexual violence, sexual harassment or power in this area. In fact, the field of science has a very hierarchical system and is also precarious in feminized fields, especially. For this reason, persecuted women, in addition to the usual difficulties of filing a complaint, are also afraid of having repercussions on their professional career, since harassment is usually vertical.

In this episode of the Ultra Violet Waves podcast, Alaitz Ochoa de Eribe of Elhuyar and Ana Galarraga Aiestarán reveal these mechanisms of harassment through real cases. There is also space for science-related news and the "You Learn Something Every Day" section, gathering input from podcast listeners.

Ultraviolet Waves is produced by Elhuyar for EITB Podkast.
