Let's keep in mind, however that this is a verifiably unscientific survey of scientists. I'm actually surprised PLoS One would publish it. IT'S DATA FROM A VOLUNTARY ONLINE SURVEY, aka, the worst type of survey for accuracy purposes. When Fox News has its surveys about how afraid the American Public is of illegal aliens, does anyone pay attention? No. Not that I'm suggesting that we shouldn't care about sexual assault, but I would have to imagine that victims are far more likely to answer the survey than non-victims. Also, it would seem more likely than not that field research in remote areas is more likely to spark this behavior that other types of science. Read: Of all the fields I've ever been a part of, science is so by far the most egalitarian that irresponsible reporting like this kinda pisses me off. We can do better as a society in every area vis sexual harassment and violence, but a headline like this is so wrong it's hard to put into words.
