Hate speech poses a significant threat to the academic realm, a space that traditionally values open dialogue, exploration, and the unbiased pursuit of knowledge. Scientists increasingly find themselves targets of digital attacks. Such toxicity can stifle academic discourse and inhibit free exploration of controversial or misunderstood subjects.
