Happy #InternationalWomansDay to all women and their champions! Last February it was both privilege and fun to organize and participate in events celebrating women in science. #IUPAC-GWB and @CAGIS

Kudos to this young girl in science.. Being a guest expert for @GirlsInScience virtual session last weekend, extracting DNA from cheek cells and exploring fluorescence materials around the house was so much fun.. teaching smart inquisitive minds is such a treat!

“We think housing is an extremely important issue, which covers all graduate students. And this is something that we want Western as an employer, and as a university to take extremely seriously. And that it is their responsibility.”

It is time we come together as a community and help one another to end the pandemic. India is one of the hardest hit at the moment. Needless to say that trans communities have lesser access to healthcare. Please consider donating if you can to this link https://t.co/GqFKD5jL1N
