On Sept. 25, 2025, I anonymously posted about an experience, where a professor instructed a research assistant to remove data that didn’t align with the professor’s predictions.
A practice called “cherry-picking”. A common way to falsify data.
Just 11 days later, on Oct. 6, I was called into a meeting with the Director of Graduate Studies, Yael Niv, and Department Chair, Casey Lee-Williams, and was informed I had been removed from the lab.
In that post,
I never named the professor.
I never identified myself as the RA.
I even used “he” instead of “she” to conceal the professor’s gender.
Yet, the professor, Sabine Kastner, immediately recognized the post was about her.
When I asked:
“How did she know the post was referring to her?”
The DGS’s response was:
“That’s very obvious, right?”
I replied: “so she admitted it? I described a very specific behavior. Only the person who did it could recognize.”
They didn’t respond directly, and just shifted the topic to how I questioned SK’s integrity.
Which I have every right to.
Note the timeline:
September 25, 2025 - I published the anonymous post.
October 6, 2025 - I was removed from the lab.
I ask Sabine Kastner and @Princeton to respond publicly with factual answers:
1. Why did Sabine Kastner believe the anonymous post referred to her?
2. What was Sabine Kastner afraid the post would reveal?
3. What steps were taken to protect me from retaliation?
