Great work by BEACON's @pvaelli on how rough-skinned newts use tetrodotoxin produced by their skin microbiomes for defense! https://t.co/I9pM3jqXXO

[BEACON Center @BEACON_Center]

Excellent piece by BEACON's own Adriana Briscoe on Latinx science and math teachers in K-12 public schools, the need for role models for POC students, and the impact that the end of DACA will have on our future pool of Latinx STEM teachers:

Fantastic article by BEACON's own @gravesjl55 on the factors associated with underrepresentation of African Americans in evolutionary science careers.

[Joel McGlothlin @joelmcglothlin]

I just read this article by @gravesjl55 this morning. If you're in evolutionary biology, you should read it too. Work by @BEACON_Center is given as an example of doing things the right way.
