I can see why she had no life, and had to make one up.

She needs to lose her job.

Hey! She took full responsibility. What more do you want?

McLaughlin applied for tenure in 2015, but Vanderbilt delayed a decision on her application for two years while a disciplinary investigation was conducted [3]. She was denied tenure at Vanderbilt in 2017.[3] She appealed the decision by filing a grievance with the university, and started a petition garnering social media support for her tenure. However, in 2019 the decision was upheld, and she left the university in July of 2019.[

McLaughlin lives in Tennessee and has one daughter and one son. She enjoys biking and competing in obstacle races.[15][9]

So Twitter can ban President Trump and real-life COVID doctors but when a genuine FRAUD is discovered, where is Twitter to ban her account and her “fake science”? ((crickets))

On August 3, 2020, McLaughlin’s Twitter account was suspended.[19] The suspension followed allegations that she created a fake online persona, a supposed Indigenous anthropology professor at Arizona State University who was a close friend. After McLaughlin announced that this friend had died from COVID-19, the university said it had no evidence that such a professor existed. A spokesman for the university called it a hoax, and McLaughlin admitted to creating the fake Twitter account.[8] Twitter said it suspended the account for violation of its “spam and platform manipulation policies” which prohibit maintaining fraudulent personas on the platform

Some irregularities have been brought to my attention. @Sciencing_Bi was an important tweep to many of us, but I did not know her in person. While awaiting clarity, I’ve removed my tweets that are being used as a substantiation I can't confirm. Image shared for transparency. pic.twitter.com/iZEz1lNdM0— Dr. Jacquelyn Gill (@JacquelynGill) August 2, 2020

I’m muting this thread, and will not be monitoring replies. I really can’t deal with the armchair detectives and rubbernecking (I get it, I just don’t want to see it.) I’ll likely be away from Twitter most of this week, except to tweet about the ESA meeting, happening virtually.— Dr. Jacquelyn Gill (@JacquelynGill) August 2, 2020

Update: I’m now convinced @Sciencing_Bi was a fake account. I’m so sorry to those of you whose trust was violated.

Creating a fake pseudonymous account and pretending various marginalized identities is wrong. It’s evil.— Dr. Jacquelyn Gill (@JacquelynGill) August 2, 2020

I'm angry about the harm done to Black, indigenous, and other people of color, and LGBTQ+ folks in our community whose trust was violated. I'm angry that someone would pretend to have a disease that has killed so many, and which *disproportionately affects BIPOC.*— Dr. Jacquelyn Gill (@JacquelynGill) August 2, 2020

I'm also angry on behalf of the targets of harassment and assault who thought they had safe harbor in MeTooSTEM, only to find that their support network eroding from toxicity over the last year.— Dr. Jacquelyn Gill (@JacquelynGill) August 2, 2020

I am angry that I spent even a single calorie of energy on a person who leveraged racism, homophobia, sexism, and covid fears for their personal gain.

If I'm grateful for one thing, @Sciencing_Bi, it's that the light of the people you hurt will outshine you, always.— Dr. Jacquelyn Gill (@JacquelynGill) August 2, 2020

"irregularities" o.O pic.twitter.com/wFG2r0Y7gN— MU-Peter Shimon 🀄 (@MU_Peter) August 2, 2020

McLaughlin was known to harass male undergraduate Neuroscience students. I hope she gets the mental health counseling needed. #MeTooSTEM— Nancy Santanello (@nancysantanello) August 3, 2020

Jacquelyn Gill is a paleoecologist and Assistant Professor of climate science at the University of Maine. Wikipedia

Public engagement
Gill regularly contributes to the public understanding of climate science and conservation.[17][18][19] She is interested in STEM diversity, how scientists embrace new media and increasing disabled access at conferences.[20] She is the co-host of the podcast "Warm Regards" (founded July 2016) along with meteorologist Eric Holthaus and climate journalist Andy Revkin of The New York Times.[21][22] When America pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord in 2017, Gill spoke up, “I hope that people don’t see this and think that all is lost".[23][24] She was inspired by the Women's March in protest of the election of Donald Trump to set up a March for Science, which resulted in 600 demonstrations on April 22, 2017 (Earth Day).[1][25] Gill left the organizational committee because of leaders’ resistance to address inequalities in race and gender

These are the "smart" "scientists" that are teaching your kids and the so called experts.

Seems that Arizona State has a lot of leftist wackos on their staff. Time to thin the herd.

lol. But the Arizona State professor was the made up one. The real professor that was behind the fake account was at Vanderbilt.

You were taken in by this as well as all the other followers. I bought into it in response to those who I know and trusted. But you should take no blame for the actions of others for who knows what reason. I applaud you for helping to correct the record.— Joseph D. Ortiz (@EarthSci_Info) August 2, 2020

This is bizarre and disconcerting. That account followed me, but I can't recall any interactions with it. It's just gross. People are...sigh.— Jess Phoenix 🌋 (@jessphoenix2018) August 2, 2020

There were so many red flags, it's incredible that so many people missed them all.— The Vaccination Station (@TheVaccination) August 5, 2020

First there were fake hate crimes. Now it’s fake, bisexual, native American, professors dying of Covid.
