If you have an idea for science you want to see at the next @ASMicrobiology Microbe meeting, there's still time to get a session proposal in! Proposals due Aug. 1. Feel free to message me with questions https://t.co/uIw7dXZeBA

[ASM @ASMicrobiology]

Did you know that more than 60% of sessions at #ASMicrobe are developed from proposals submitted by scientists like you? Help shape the program and ensure that the science presented. Act fast—the deadline to submit is Aug. 1! https://t.co/WwHFDyfz8x

UAB has not communicated anything yet regarding this bill to faculty & staff to my knowledge. It deserves attention.

[Dr. Megan Kiedrowski @MicrobioMegan]

The Alabama Senate will hold a hearing on 2/21 at 11a that puts DEI initiatives at risk. "Diversity, equity, and inclusion; certain public entities prohibited from maintaining office that promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion programs" https://t.co/z4LXZSDQL6 @UABNews

[Dr. Megan Kiedrowski @MicrobioMegan]

Lastly, "public inst. of higher ed., required to designate multioccupancy restrooms based on biological sex"

[Dr. Megan Kiedrowski @MicrobioMegan]

@UABNews Bill will also address: "certain programs related to divisive concepts or diversity, equity, and inclusion, prohibited; promotion and endorsement of certain divisive concepts in certain public settings prohibited; exceptions provided"
