Quote:
"A leading developmental biologist at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) this spring resumed teaching and supervising students, including undergraduates, ending a 3-month suspension without pay imposed after the school found he had likely engaged in persistent, pervasive sexual harassment. A wide-ranging university investigation of Bruce Blumberg that concluded in April 2023 supported a graduate student’s allegations of harassment that culminated in her abruptly leaving his lab and the university. An earlier sexual harassment probe of the prominent researcher had documented other instances of inappropriate conduct."
