Netflix has a new (sarcastic air quotes) “documentary” out about Ocean Ramsey, who longtime readers and followers know is a serial wildlife harasser who also coordinates massive online harassment campaigns against scientists and conservationists who criticize her. In 15 years on social media, I’ve never gotten more (or nastier) harassment then when I criticized her pseudoscientific nonsense. Several of my professional shark conservation advocate colleagues have gotten death threats from her supporters. It is worth noting that I asked about dozen professional colleagues if they wanted to comment on this post, and they all refused out of fear of being targeted by her. Every time I speak out against this, many of my professional colleagues privately thank me and say that they refuse to speak up publicly because of her well-earned reputation for online harassment against experts...
It is not elitist or exclusionary to say that words mean things and that professional fields require some degree of training, experience, or credentials, of which she has none. Ocean Ramsey is not a scientist, full stop.
And I just wanted to briefly stress here that another way of saying “does not have research ethics permits for her activities” would be “behaves unethically.”
What Ocean Ramsey does is wildlife harassment. | |
