Revision as of 19:46, 1 May 2021

Mark E. Siddall is a Canadian biologist. Siddall has studied the evolution and systematics of blood parasites and leeches, and systematic theory.[citation needed] Siddall was hired as an assistant curator at the American Museum of Natural History in July, 1999[1] and worked there as a curator until September, 2020, when he was terminated for having violated the museum's policy prohibiting sexual relationships between staff and mentees.[2]

Education

Siddall completed a Masters[3] and PhD[4] under the supervision of Sherwin S. Desser at the University of Toronto in 1991 and 1994, respectively.[5]

Career

After completing his PhD, Siddall completed a postdoc at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.[6] Subsequently, he was a fellow in the Michigan Society of Fellows from 1996 - 1999.[7]

Siddall has worked and published on parasitic and other animals, including leeches[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] jellyfish,[20] guinea worms,[21] and bed bugs.[22][23]

He is the author of the popular science book, Poison: Sinister Species with Deadly Consequences.[citation needed]

The American Museum of Natural History let him go in September 2020 after an outside law firm, Kaplan Hecker & Fink,[2] made a determination that he had sexually harassed and bullied a graduate student. As part of the investigation, he was cited for violating a museum policy that prohibits sexual relationships between staff and mentees under their academic supervision.[2] Siddall has denied that a sexual encounter took place.[2] Siddall did state that the student had initiated a physical encounter with him, which he had rejected.[2] A year after that incident, Siddall found an error in the findings of a research paper she was writing for a peer-reviewed publication, of which he was one of the co-authors and attempted to prevent the paper from being published; the museum found that his efforts were motivated at least in part by a desire to retaliate against the student for refusing to engage with him.[2] He publicly disagreed with the findings by the museum that led to his dismissal, however, he chose to not appeal the decision for personal reasons and due to legal costs.[2] The Museum responded with termination.[2] There had been a prior complaint filed against him with the museum by Dr. Susan Perkins in 2017.[2]

Research

Siddall studies phylogenetics and evolution.[24] Siddall has been described as "a staunch supporter of parsimony and a harsh critic of maximum likelihood approaches” to inferring phylogenies.[6]
