Same here! There’s nothing like the feeling of accomplishment being a first-gen college graduate starting with a continuation HS diploma to community college Associates, State school Bachelor and Masters degrees and now a PhD candidate @UCDavis_Nursing
I, for one, STUNNED that rich people would pay millions in bribes to get their children into elite colleges. You mean they didn’t earn it based off merit alone, as we’re constantly told? ::clutches imaginary pearls:: https://t.co/8fEeHFjQy0
Whether you’re 🥁marching, 💃🏻dancing, 🌹rising, ✊🏻resisting, 💥protesting, 🚫striking, ❤️uniting or 🎈celebrating, wishing you all a wonderful #internationalwomensday! 🥰 #IWD2019#joyfulwarriors
For centuries, women have been at the front lines of the fight for progress. We fight not only for women’s rights, but for the rights for all. This #WomensHistoryMonth join me in celebrating women like Angela Davis, Diane Nash, & Sojourner Truth who paved the way for all of us.

Quick reminder on #womeninscience day, fam: you don’t have to be the first, the only, the best, the fastest, the “anything” to deserve to be celebrated or be in #stem. If you enjoy the pursuit, you deserve to be here and to be acknowledged. Don’t ever forget that.

Trolls asking, "Who were all those #nurses on the floor last night?" in response to a sea of #suffragist white. Your fake query & sarcasm was meant as an insult. But, guess what? We love & value our #nurses & we are 100% here to cure what ails this country! Right, @RepUnderwood?
This week I conducted my first-ever line of questioning at an Oversight committee hearing, which focused on the skyrocketing costs of pharmaceuticals.
