For the last several months, I, along with two other =eporters on my desk, have been investigating at least four accounts of =exual misconduct involving Lawrence Krauss stretching back a decade. =ur story is corroborated by emails, university documents, official =omplaints, testimony from victims and witnesses, and interviews with =ore than two dozen of Krauss's current and former academic =olleagues, students, and peers in the skeptics =ovement. We are now nearing our publication date. I am =eaching out to you now in the hopes that you may consider commenting on =hat allegations like this mean for your field, particularly since you =ave done events with Krauss and occupy a similar place in the public =phere. Are you interested in chatting? We're planning to publish our story on Tuesday =orning, Eastern US Time. If you'd like to talk, please let us =now as soon as possible.
