>So basically you want a peer-reviewed scientific paper coming out of Uber exploring their culture specifically about sexual harassment?
How about more evidence than the anecdotal experience of one person. Like I said - she seems credible, but it is only one side of the story and one singular instance.
>Science is beautiful but there are places where you can't gather the data to do it, this is probably one of these cases.
So the alternative is you just make up your own conclusion?

If you can't gather the data, I'd suggest you shouldn't assert the conclusion. In this instance, is Uber a systemically bad company for sexual harassment? I haven't seen the data to suggest so. One woman reporting sexual harassment is bad, of course, but it isn't conclusive on the question of systemic sexual harassment.
What kind of world do you live in? Because the real world doesn't provide you any of these metrics or statistics so you will very likely never see this kind of "proof" coming out from any workplace that's been accused of not fighting against sexual harassment.
Science is beautiful but there are places where you can't gather the data to do it, this is probably one of these cases.
