I made this Twitter account for academic purposes—with the sole intent to continue to immerse myself in the voices and thoughts of the scientific community. But what’s going on in Ukraine is deeply personal. 🇺🇦

I spent 10 years of my life at DiscGenics. I tried to keep my head down, do good science, and support my staff. But, it got to be too much. Here is the story of what happened, which I am sharing because I don't want it to happen again to other women.

I’m grateful for @RepLoriTrahan taking time to listen to our concerns and hope that we can continue the conversation for how to most effectively help the Ukrainian people!

[Tonia Tsinman @TTsinman]

When the Russian invasion began, the bitter feeling of being completely unable to help my friends in Ukraine was debilitating. I never imagined that the an effort to help my homeland would bring me to the office of my congressional representative.

Grateful for the chance to meet Tonia Tsinman and her mom, Oksana. Tonia's family immigrated from Dnipro, Ukraine in 1998 & she's spent the last two months rallying support across the Commonwealth for the Ukrainian people. What an honor it was to sign her Ukraine flag poster!

@SereenSAssi1 Sereen, thank you for your words of support. I wholeheartedly agree. Perhaps it’s my unwillingness to truly give up on the hope of action that makes this even more painful.

[Tonia Tsinman @TTsinman]

It has been a devastating 2 weeks for Ukraine. For my dear friends. As an American, it has been equally devastating to see the US shy away from key steps that could help Ukraine in a time of desperate need. I realize that not everyone may agree, but this is how I feel👇

[Razom for Ukraine 🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦 @razomforukraine]

Ukrainians have proven to the world that they are willing to stop tanks with their bare hands to defend their country and democracy against russian invasion. #PlanesForUkraine is the least the world can do to #StandwithUkraine. @StateDept @SecBlinken

..."The “never again” moment is happening now, and the West is failing to prevent it."

Read that last part again. In my opinion, history is repeating itself. I desperately don't want to believe that the world has so easily forgotten its recent past. #NoFlyZone #StopPutinNOW

[Tonia Tsinman @TTsinman]

"The whole world seems to admire the Ukrainian fight against Putin. But Ukrainians do not need empty words. Neither do we need a Ukraine Genocide Remembrance Day, with officials in different countries tweeting 'Never again.'"

[Tonia Tsinman @TTsinman]

All I can do is hope with every fiber of my being that my loved ones are safe and that those who are able to do something about this do more than just watch. #Ukraina #UkraineCrisis

[Tonia Tsinman @TTsinman]

It’s where I was born and partially grew up. Some of my dearest friends live there. Hearing from them that they have no way to leave and are scared about their future is heartbreaking. Having no way to help is devastating. The sheer fact that this is happening is infuriating.

@spence_sz3 @NSF @PennStateBME So well deserved!! Congrats!

[Tonia Tsinman @TTsinman]

@DymentLabPenn @Mary_Kate_Evans @ors_tendon Huge congrats!!

[Tonia Tsinman @TTsinman]

I’m going to guess that anyone who has ever done histology will now wish their lab had one of these!! I know I certainly do! :)

[Tonia Tsinman @TTsinman]

@RobertMauck11 @MauckLab @DymentLabPenn Ah that means so much!! Thank you!!!!!!!!
