In this episode I talk about being diagnosed with a rare disease as a teen & how the studies shared with me only included adult white males.

Now as a postdoc, I develop patient centered preclinical trial methodologies. #RepresentationMatters

Full episode here or on Spotify! ✨

Excited to share my first co-first author publication from my postdoc lab! Check out our review of bioengineering in microgravity and #CiteASista

@timeforabreak6 I still use them and they’re better than ChatGPT in most cases, equal at worst

Academic writing is wild bc you’ll read four articles just to write one sentence.

Anyway, here’s a thread of resources I’ve been using to speed through this review I’m working on:

How did Black women elders manage stress?

Well, Rosa Parks practiced (and taught!) yoga. Some scholars see this as an example of survival and self-care in networks — leaning on, and into community as part of self care to sustain yourself. #BlackFact

@ivancalcantara one of my favorite things about the CRC too — truly inspiring to walk this hallway every day 🥲 video is from <6 months ago!

Dr. Tim Downing (@timothy_lamont) at @uci_bme is redefining cell & tissue engineering. His lab explores how epigenetics controls cell fate, driving innovations in heart regeneration, cancer research, and more. 🧬🔬 Let us know who you want to see next: https://t.co/oSLok7eZwl

Today’s #BlackFact: in 1975 the Pointer Sisters won a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group for their song Fairytale making them the first all female group AND first Black women to win in the country music category.

And now Beyoncé 50yrs later…

The Marlin Lab researches transgenerational epigenetic inheritance (how parents' lived experiences change the brains of future offspring) 🧬🐭

I spent a summer as a fellow at the Marine Biological Laboratory a few years ago. They’re still a hub for scientific discoveries with over 60 Nobel Laureates affiliated with the MBL.

Perhaps in a different time, under a more equitable system Ernest Just would’ve been a laureate

[Anicca Harriot, PhD🔬 @dr_anicca]

On this day in 1915, biologist Ernest E. Just received the Spingarn Medal for research in fertilization and cell division.

Much of our modern understanding of fertilization comes from his research at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. #BlackFact

[Anicca Harriot, PhD🔬 @dr_anicca]

On this day in 1902, Langston Hughes was born. #BlackFact

Me rn: i just accomplished something I never thought I would. I pitched at Stanford this weekend and secured funding for my STEM educational app for Indigenous girls

[Jonathan Lambert @evolambert]

The National Science Foundation cancelled over 60 grant review panels today, effectively grinding funding of new projects to a halt.

The pause comes as NSF grapples with the impact Trump's executive orders will have on their grantmaking process.

We know now that what they're coming after is not one form of thinking. It's not Black history, it's not intersectionality, it's not critical race theory. They're coming after the entire infrastructure that has been created from the civil rights movement.
