Renowned astronomer becomes the first scientist to be EXPELLED from National Academy of Sciences five years after he resigned from UC Berkeley 'for sexually harassing students for nearly a decade'
Geoff Marcy was removed from his position at the National Academy of Sciences on Monday, six years after he was first accused of sexual harassment
The Academy changed its bylaws in 2019 to allow for the expulsion of any member found to be in violation of its bylaws, which prohibit harassment
Marcy, who was once a contender for the Nobel Prize, is the first scientist to be removed under this new clause
