National Academy of Sciences President Marcia McNutt addressed sexual harassment in science on Capitol Hill last month.

The U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in Washington, D.C., will ask its members next month to change the organization’s bylaws to allow proven sexual harassers and those guilty of other misconduct to be ejected from their ranks. That’s a first for the prestigious organization that advises the U.S. government on scientific issues: Its members, who are voted in by other members, have always been elected for life.
