Not to be that girl, but today’s #FreeThePill win would not have been possible without young people. Even the FDA experts noted how impactful the testimonies of young people were in their decision to #FreeThePill

“When a woman speaks in a professional setting, she walks a tightrope. Either she’s barely heard or she’s judged as too aggressive. When a man says virtually the same thing, heads nod in appreciation for his fine idea.” The playing field is not equal 😢 https://t.co/Gj3YhAD0in

Having more women at all levels of government will make government work better—and there’s a realistic path to getting there.

In my latest op-ed, I reflect on what it’ll take to make our government truly representative of the people it serves. https://t.co/j7ReaHKROo

The diet industry’s reliance on ‘calories in, calories out' is why society blames people for being overweight – but it’s a myth.

As @drnickfuller (@Sydney_Uni) writes, it oversimplifies the complex process of calculating energy intake and expenditure. https://t.co/NzEN5gIQCG

Americans:
•Cancel student debt!
•Cancel medical debt!
•Make insulin free!

Most of Developed World:
•What is student debt?
•What is medical debt?
•Insulin is already free!

What GOP calls “socialism”—even conservative parties in most developed nations call a “human right.”

I was told multiple times during my phd that my outreach activities meant I wasn’t dedicated and were a waste of time.

It is short sighted for scientists to fail to recognize the importance of science communication. After all, our research is funded by the public. If no one understands and is excited—no money and no next generation of scientists…

My husband & my baby do all the sleeping in their blackout curtain chambers with their white noise machines & I feel like I'm the beleaguered spaceship captain tending to an endless voyage while my passengers chill in some sort of pods between feedings.
