Octávio Mateus is a paleontologist, professor and member of the Scientific Council of the Foundation for Science and Technology. But several complaints reported to the Investigation SATURDAY associate him with several episodes of sexual harassment against women.
Researchers and students accuse Octávio Mateus of acts that have dragged on, at least, since 2010. Universidade Nova de Lisboa opened an inquiry after contacting SÁBADO.
Melanie During still remembers the day she met Octávio Mateus. Almost ten years have passed, but the Dutch paleontologist guarantees that she lived one of those moments that mark us forever. “I’d love to go to Portugal. The fossil record is incredible and I’d love to do research there, but I don’t put myself at risk working with a predator.”
