Keith's note: Apparently the huge STEM education event that Dava Newman described last week at the NAC is not a STEM education event after all. Instead it is an invitation-only event for NASA grantees to discuss sexual harassment policies. Some parts of it may be made public but media are not invited - nor can anyone just show up and attend. The venue, agenda, date, time etc. have yet to be released - and the event begins in just 4 days. Given that organizations such as the American Astronomical Society went to great pains to make their deliberations and policy development regarding sexual harassment very open and inclusive, it is rather strange that NASA has been so secretive about this event. Then again, NASA dragged its feet in responding to the issue in the first place. In addition to the secrecy surrounding this meeting, it is also odd is that NASA's deputy administrator was so confused as to what this large event is all about - including her claim that it was all online.
