Well if nothing else the Supreme Court ruling is gonna humble some white and Asian students when they find out they still didn’t get in to their dream school and it wasn’t the fault of already underrepresented Black applicants.

Since it's #InternationalMensDay, here's a thread of every part of the gynaecological anatomy that is named after a man, with a bit of trivia about each man. Some of the bits are very specific. Before you ask, there are no parts of the gynaecological anatomy named after women...

[Seraphina Solders, PhD @serasolders]

Genuinely curious - why do PhD students cost so much in tuition and fees when we use so few university resources? We’re taught in early years by profs who aren’t even paid to teach us, and the rest of our time we contribute as workers. Imagining if that money went to us instead?
