In November of 2017, Epstein says “see anything that exciting or new?” And Joi Ito replies “#metoo is quite amazing.” And then in 2018, MIT announces MeToo and MeTooSTEM leaders with Ito and Hoffman’s Disobedience award.

Not strictly a media parvenu. Rasmussen was media spokesman for, and sidekick to, disgraced fraudster BethAnn McLaughlin in the MeTooStem grift before becoming media spokesman for, and sidekick to, the disgraced 'Proximal Origin' fraudsters in the COVID-market-origin grift.

Here's a concise, engaging English tweet capturing Tracy Chou's @triketora story: "Meet Tracy Chou—CEO/founder of Block Party building tools to combat online harassment, co-founder of Project Include advocating diversity in tech, and a Stanford-trained engineer reshaping Silicon Valley's ethics. From being Quora's first female engineer to advising Congress on algorithmic bias, she's spent a decade turning coding skills into societal impact. Her app Block Party, named one of TIME's Best Inventions, empowers users to filter abuse on Twitter. She forced tech giants like Google to disclose diversity stats in 2013, then co-created solutions through Diversity in Tech databases. Whether testifying on Capitol Hill or sparking #MeTooSTEM, Tracy proves tech can be both innovative and equitable. What inspires? How she bridges technical expertise (Pinterest's early architecture, AI ethics research) with unapologetic activism—showing engineers can code a better world while demanding accountability. Her story teaches us: breakthrough innovation happens when we center marginalized voices.

3/ Then there's the case of the "Hopi" professor: "a pseudonymous Twitter account called @Sciencing_Bi claiming to be a Native American professor at Arizona State University who purportedly died of COVID-19 after being forced to continue teaching. It turned out to be a fake Twitter persona created by Mary Beth McLaughlin in 2016, often tweeting about sexual harassment and lavishing praise on MeTooSTEM." buzzfeednews.com/article/pet…

Au niveau développement, il y a besoin de beaucoup de communication afin de comprendre les besoins de clients ou de collègues qui ne maîtrisent pas le vocabulaire ou ne savent pas formuler leur besoin. Sinon, on a un peu de ménage à faire au niveau #MetooSTEM ! 2/2

Hopefully that ethics ship is about to be swamped by a tsunami of public hostility.

I would add that among the people that petitioned the fed government to restore EcoHealth Alliance funding was BethAnn McLaughlin, the MeTooSTEM fraud/grifter/bully who worked with Angela Rasmussen see - michael-balter.blogspot.com/… @mbalter

Nobody ever seems to remember Dr. Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at Columbia University in New York, who weaponized the MEtooSTEM movement for her own personal gains.

This reminds me of the time the founder of metooSTEM catfished science twitter as a Native American Bisexual scientist - and got found out when they faked their death during covid (blaming their institution for covid handling) - there was a zoom funeral and everything 😂

famous people on Twitter.” Two Twitter users created a helpful guide explaining the multiple types of reply guys. The chart was in response to the #MeTooSTEM movement — a hashtag users could use to highlight the sexual harassment they’ve dealt with within the field of science.

En France, on a rarement des "codes de conduite" pour des congrès, séminaires, conférences. Les auteurs de #VSS sont accueillis sans problème. Les américains ont peut-être 10 ou 20 ans d'avance sur nous en matière d'éthique grâce à #MeToo et #MetooSTEM .

That she raised for metoostem.

The indictment against Rasmussen can be found here. Rasmussen was not in the first wave of resignations from #MeTooSTEM when the issue was McLaughlin’s racism; she only resigned when McLaughlin’s toxic behavior became so glaring it could no longer be swept under the rug.

Science quoting Rasmussen in an article about abuse is problematic for 2 reasons: (1) as @mbalter said, it launders the reputation of "a notorious bully and toxic troll" & (2) before Covid, Rasmussen hurt the MeTooStem movement by enabling the toxic behavior of BethAnn McLaughlin
