World's top empathy researcher accused of bullying colleagues: 75% of her researchers have QUIT over claims she screams and intimidates

Dr Tania Singer directs the Max Planck Institute's department of social neuroscience

She is world famous for her sprawling study of the biology of empathy and meditation

But eight colleagues claim that Dr Singer threatened their job security and brow-beat them for everything from disagreeing with her to getting pregnant

Dr Singer has been on a year-long sabbatical since mediation proceedings concluded last year

She is slated to return with a 'new start' in January 2019

The world's foremost empathy researcher has been accused of bullying by scores of colleagues.

Dr Tania Singer heads up the Max Planck Institute's ReSource Project, a massive research project intended to show that meditation can help people become kinder and more caring for others.

But a new Science article reveals that she was anything but empathetic toward her junior colleagues.

The neuroscientist allegedly reduced students in her lab to tears and even told one she would have to 'make up' for her maternity leave.

Most of the high fliers everywhere are psychopaths by design. They pretend to be empathetic, but often fail under pressure and show their true colors.

TRANSLATION: It is hoped that you would have all forgotten this by then...

Turns out she is the daughter of neurophysiologist Wolf Singer

This pretty much says it all...

His thesis on the free will was particularly controversial. Singer declined to speak of a free will. This he expressed publicly in an article published in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in 2004, whose subtitling he made in the slightly modified formulation „Brain structures determine us: We should stop talking about free will“ as the main title of the reprinting of an extensive scientific contribution to the discussion "Brain as a Subject? (Part I)" in the German Journal of Philosophy. Singer argues that the natural scientific causal model, according to which the world is to be viewed as a closed deterministic whole, excludes freedom.
