We may live in a state of prosecutorial overcorrection, but I think it’s a dialectical response to the fact that the default position for a certain kind of celebrity scientist has usually been ferocious, uncritical defense.

I agree with you, but apparently Tim did predict it and for me it was also non-surprising because I read Drew Bailey's and John Protzko's work where this is a recurring pattern. I think it's valuable work, because obviously smart people and workable theories make different predictions.

One of the giants of social psychology was a serial sexual harasser.
This new report reveals how Miles Hewstone touched, bullied, and sexual harassed numerous women during his 18 years at the University of Oxford. It's amazing how often bullying and sexual harassment go together in academia.

My wife was sexually harassed by Miles Hewstone as a phd student. He was still asked to review her (and other women he harassed) for jobs and promotions. This is so fucked up.
Thankfully, she and many other women testified against him and something was finally done. This is her take on his case:

IRT often feels like one hot fever dream where everybody tries to hide the fact that it's just a nonlinear factor model. I had friends who weren't trained in it who essentially picked up that it had magic properties that factor models don't.
