Scientists - what prevents you from leveling up your science communication (whatever that means to you)?

[500 Women Scientists - Baton Rouge @500WS_BR]

Look at all these amazing women scientists!!!

[Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D @SarahMackAttack]

There are so many amazing women in science, it’s hard to fit into a tweet who to follow. Sheesh. Ok here’s a couple.

#WomenInScienceDay

1) Corina Newsome @hood_naturalist I feel like I talk about how much I love Corina and her infectious enthusiasm all the time but SRSLY.

[Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D @SarahMackAttack]

The scientist twitter accounts with the most followers, the NGTs/Bill Nye/Brian Cox, etc, are held by men.

A group of women wanted to see more women and non-binary scientists up there. So we decided to grab the bull by the horns.

Today we took our first major step.

[Tulane GeoLatinas Local Team @TUGeoLatinas]

Great news y’all! This week our GLT became an officially recognized student organization at Tulane! 🙌🏽 Cheers to our hardworking board and members for making this happen, and the mothership @GeoLatinas for inspiring us all! Adelante! 💜

Prior to #11February, I would like to share with you some of my #ReadingRecommendations. This is an absolutely amazing and eye-opening book about #genderbiast in #STEM. I learned about this book from @jesswade when I attend her talk at @iscientistconf in #Berlin last year.
