Exciting news!

I’ve introduced my first bill in Congress: the Relieving Economic Strain to Enhance American Resilience and Competitiveness in Higher Education and Research (RESEARCHER) Act, to address financial instability for graduate and postdoctoral researchers. 🧵

Local advocacy is critical in addressing #SciPol issues that impact our communities. In this video, recorded during the HBCU & MSI Science Policy College Tour, Dr. Paige Greenwood discusses how she used her research to engage locally.

@hannahkloo I did! Now I'm pursuing something more values-focused and it feels great. Happy to talk

Happy #EarthDay! Did you know that when @SciDebate was founded in 2007, neither presidential candidate would discuss #ClimateChange?

Can you help us get more candidates talking about #ScienceOnTheBallot? Donate to @SciPolNetwork: https://t.co/hwgl0apIM6

The ARPA model helped develop GPS, the internet, and other cutting-edge technologies.

This model should be applied to support agricultural moonshots too, as @AdinRichards argues. https://t.co/I9xINabKMV

Pass it on.

[Thomas B @LabPigeon]

@rfranqui3 @ravenscimaven @NorthwesternLaw Of course! Just wanted to make sure!

[Thomas B @LabPigeon]

I can finally announce that it's official! I'll be attending @NorthwesternLaw this fall as part of the class of 2026. This scientist is gonna be a lawyer!

[Thomas B @LabPigeon]

@ravenscimaven @NorthwesternLaw Thank you! I'm likely going into public interest law, but patent law and intellectual property can be practiced without a PhD, I believe. @rfranqui3 is that correct?

[Thomas B @LabPigeon]

@jon_ds7 @TheRealDrDukes @NorthwesternLaw Go wildcats!

[Thomas B @LabPigeon]

@eisenlohr_moul @NorthwesternLaw Thank you! Hopefully Chicago treats me nicely

[Tracie Delgado @traciedelgado]

Ok friends, you were amazing last time & would appreciate your help identifying URM scientists (LatinX, Black & Indigenous) who are in the USA in the field of Microbiology (bacterial/virus/parasite) so my students can spotlight their amazing research in our class. PLEASE RETWEET!

[Thomas B @LabPigeon]

Thanks so much to everyone for supporting me as I moved out of grad school. Thanks especially to @MDLegalAid for giving me the chance to work as a Paralegal and to learn THIS is how I want to help people. Looking forward to this next chapter!
