Happy to share my article about being a Black woman in science

Ok folks. It’s time we talked about eels.

I’m a geologist but I recently learnt about eels and… wow.

Since then, I’ve been greeting strangers with ‘DO YOU KNOW ABOUT EELS?!’

Well, consider yourself a stranger in my path.

Strap in. It’s a 🧵

[ESA Early Career @ESA_EarlyCareer]

We have a new blog post! Meet @ChristineStands and read about her project on plant functional traits in Florida scrub habitats of different elevations. Her research hasn't been straightforward as that dang lab equipment sometimes just doesn’t want to cooperate.

[Christine Sit @ChristineStands]

So excited this now exists!

[Karena Hạ Nguyễn, Ph.D. @Nguyen_4science]

As next job season looms closer, I'm excited to share 'Proactive strategies for an inclusive faculty search process'. One key aspect was the involvement of me & @K_Thomas1122 at trainee reps! #highered #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

Lesson from the field: don't use flags that are the same color as the plant because you will NEVER be able to find them. Took me so long to find this one #plants #research #iSPY

Why we can't stop saying gay, a story

On the first day of my senior year of high school, a new boy showed up in my AP English class.

He had transferred from a prestigious private school to my public school, and I was confused.

I asked him why he moved and he shrugged

A year ago, a non-academic friend listened to a talk I gave. I thought it went great. My friend disagreed.

She said that academics are experts at making interesting stuff boring—and that we should all take a speech class.

So I did. And here are 6 most useful things I learned.

An article by one of the many women of color in my field from WOCinEEB that I continue to look up to

[Dr. Bala Chaudhary @BalaChaudhary]

Mentorship that considers race, ethnicity, culture, religion and parenting, as well as a centralized system to dynamically & retroactively streamline name change, will promote agency & choice for women in STEM. Thanks for the opportunity @NatureMicrobiol

First Bioblitz yesterday at #DeLucaPreserve 1404 observations and 310 species identified so far! #DeLucaBioBlitz @UF_IFAS

Finally finished writing my blog post about @ElYunqueNF ! It's basically story time of the @LUQLTER Luquillo Forest😆 It was so hard piecing together both the history and science aspects while still having it be easy to read! https://t.co/JaCmFNypXi

Asking if "Don't Look Up" is a good movie is like asking if depression is a good feeling. It's not, but the implications are real and society at large chooses to ignore it and do nothing. "Sit tight and assess."

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

Finally saw the @Netflix film “Don’t Look Up,” a fictional tale of a Nation distracted by pop-culture and divided on whether to heed dire warnings of scientists.

Everything I know about news-cycles, talk shows, social media, & politics tells me the film was instead a documentary

@madhurarrao I usually say something like "what should I say?" 😆
