This headline is one of the biggest piles of intellectually lax bullshit I've ever seen.

Epstein infiltrated the scientific community for a REASON.
Not for teh lulz.

JE was ABLE to infiltrate the scientific community with ease, facilitated by the fact that it's still a sausage fest, at least at the top.

Did he infiltrate any female-led institutions? None that I've heard of... though those are much fewer in number.

And this article barely glazed over as it glanced in the direction of Epstein holding kompromat over those in positions of power.

That needs to be addressed, and soon.

But, to be clear, this article does not answer WHY he infiltrated the scientific community.

It doesn't even attempt to approach the issue.

And that's something that we need to approach with caution - not with shitty headlines.

ps once my initial rage at the headline subsided, the article itself is a decent summary of some of the issues.

But whoever wrote that headline should be stuck scrubbing toilets for the next two weeks.
