Mother diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, both grandmothers' with breast cancer & I wanted to know how/why our bodies did that. Adored my evolution, genetics, and cell biology classes in undergrad & changed major from scientific illustration to biology.

First Gen students, how did you get into STEM?
Personally, my dad loves maths and always tried to show me why it was cool.

🔥 “Trump’s VP pick is a Machiavellian sycophant with less integrity than a Boeing 737 — nobody tongue-polishes a bootheel like this motherfu*ker.”

TN’s own Liberal Redneck @traecrowder says he and Vance once met and bonded over the threat Trump poses, before he sold out 👇🏽

@WNEP, don’t you owe it to your community to report on this?

[Trisha M. Zintel, PhD 🧬🦧🐒🦍🔬 @TrishaMZintel]

@WNEP A local veterinarian’s office acted with such irrespoinble neglect that they killed my mom’s beloved dog. She went in with a hematoma and they pushed for an invasive treatment, bandaged her head so tightly she couldn’t breathe properly, and sent her home anyway. She died.

They refuse to do an autopsy. These nepotistic, incompetent poor excuses for medical professionals of any kind do not deserve to continue practicing, and people deserve to know the danger their pets are in.

Arizonans, not politicians, should make decisions about their health care.

And the vast majority of Arizonans agree — women should have the right to access an abortion.

I’ll continue fighting for reproductive rights in the Senate.

To get a wheelchair I need to get around and survive, I have to:

-Submit a report from a physical therapist
-Get approval from vendor
-Get approval from insurance
-Fight insurance denials
-Wait 6 months-1 year

America has makes it harder to get a wheelchair than a gun

I’m somewhat loath to get so personal but I feel like I need to tell this story. My mother died in December 2020 with what I believed at the time to be $40k in student loan debt.

@jlphistory @_alyssacsmith @Lady_Historian I can see not having a lot left over with $100k if you have a mountain of student loan debt + rent/mortgage + children (and are single). It's a weird take to say it isn't a lot of money, but there are scenarios where that doesn't go nearly as far as people think.

Sometimes you don't even need a microscope to see cell phenotypes. Induced pluripotent heart cells can be seen beating in their wells.

I see a lot of people - on both "sides" - making simple mistakes about masks. I've studied PPE, taught PPE, and overseen PPE programs, including teams implementing fit testing in hospitals, long before covid.

It’s 100% exhausting for first gen scientists to return to their anti-vax hometown.
