@RogersLabUCD @UCD_APC @ucdavisvetmed I love seeing your enthusiasm and passion in getting young folks into the lab. You are truly an amazing scientist, Crystal. Keep up the great work! ๐๐ค๐ค๐ค
I was honored to join some amazing scientists in sharing my perspective for the Juneteenth issue of Cell Voices: โHow do DEI initiatives impact STEMM, and why do we still need them?โ
Huge thanks to @phdgprotein86 for coordinating and including me!

Two-Spirit (gay and lesbian and trans) people have been living here in North America for thousands of years prior to the arrival of the white man. They even predate Christianity. Therefore, they have more right to be here than colonizing Christian immigrants. (And their descendants.) Agree? ๐ชถ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
My son is 15
I never bought him a pride onesie when he was a baby.
I never read him a book that had two moms as part of the storyline.
When he was little stores and businesses didnโt have LGBTQ+ displays and we didnโt celebrate pride month.
He was raised Catholic, and went to church.
Guess what? He is gay.
The rainbow wonโt make your kids gay. They are born that way. A display in a store wonโt make your kid trans, they are born that way.
If you donโt love and accept them for who they are, YOU are a shitty parent.
They havenโt failed, you have.
