@RoseGrvs I know! They are doing what they can to get this up to a living wage to make it more accessible. Some of the positions do pay minimum wage.

Amazing opportunity for high school students in Oregon and SW Washington interested in STEM careers. Please spread the word!

Students make the world go round!

[Dr. Sam Cheng @pilesofsquid]

There’s been a lot of discussion about #mentor #mentee relationships in #science. While the convo on how #papers ≠ #success needs to be had – #students (#mentees) usually end up in the acknowledgements despite putting in a ton of work. THIS IS V PROBLEMATIC. 👇🏽 [1/14]

Happy #LGBTQSTEMDay from your favorite Black bisexual shark nerd🤓🦈
Cheers to be our unapologetic queer selves🥂 and hopefully inspiring the scientists after us to do that same. Love yourself and be kind to others💕 #loveislove 🏳️‍🌈

[Derek Applewhite @ApplewhiteDerek]

Happy #LGBTQSTEMDay ! I am black, gay, Associate Professor @Reed_College_ who is passionate about the cytoskeleton, educating the next generation of bad-ass scientists, and promoting Inclusion and Diversity in the scientific community. Come as you are.

The science is clear. These regulations will help enforce distancing and keep us all safe. And don't forget to keep wearing your mask and washing your hands!

[Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown]

Tomorrow begins the statewide Two-Week Freeze. I know this will be difficult but Oregonians come together in times of need. We owe it to each other to take these measures seriously.

It is up to all of us to work together to get this virus under control.

It's transgender awareness week! Please read this excellent piece by @lila_leatherman on supporting queer, trans, and non-binary scientists. We can and need to do better.

[Massive Science @massivesci]

Time and again, the task falls overwhelmingly to queer and trans people to create spaces for our own inclusion and representation.

“Hospitalizations lag behind cases by about two weeks; by Thanksgiving, today’s soaring cases will be overwhelming hospitals that already cannot cope.”
We have to stop gathering indoors, folks. Stop the spread.

is organizing a dispersed neighborhood cleanup wherever you are!

Go out this weekend and pick up trash in your community.
