Diversity. Equity. Inclusion.

We can’t expect students to succeed when they are struggling to cover basic living costs.
Provide more $ support and raise stipends now.

Ok I think everything is turned in, and all the boxes checked, so I can announce, I will be starting as an Active Learning Initiative Postdoc next week at Cornell! I am excited to work with the faculty to develop new courses and continue my work in inclusive teaching 🌈🌼🍎
Providing demographic data for NSF: Actually, I do wish to provide my gender, but your survey does not include nonbinary scientists. You are not accurately assessing diversity when you erase queer and transgender scientists. @ISNBS_#QueerinSTEM
