Great to see these quotes directly from David. This accusation has always been more narrative than Truth.

And I know from my own experience that some relaxed joking and banter in the lab can be uplifting while at the bench as work in academia can feel isolating and depressing at times. Happy hours at night also help boost morale (yes, with alcohol involved) and is very common.

I encourage you to carefully read apps.bostonglobe.com/metro/i… about @DMSabatini which is the result of a year-long investigation by the team that unearthed the Catholic Church abuse scandal. It is an accurate and balanced portrayal of the facts. Then pretend this happened to you.

This is riveting reporting 👇 A lot of gray in here. Has @DMSabatini been punished enough? I have to say yes. He did his time. As a true progressive, I think everyone should have a path to redemption. If Lander gets to return so too should David.
