@paigemklarkin I'm considering getting Foldscopes for the mini-scientists I know! ~2 um resolution and they seem pretty affordable/portable.

👏👏 “The lab” is not simply a room of machines churning out results, it’s a team of brilliant, hardworking, and currently very exhausted people who are always committed to patient care regardless of the recognition they may or may not get for it.

[Katherine J. Wu, Ph.D. @KatherineJWu]

Hundreds of millions of coronavirus tests have been run in labs across the country since the pandemic first hit.

Behind every single one of those tests is a team of people. I wrote about a few of them, and the herculean efforts they've put in. 1/

@KarissaPhD Thank you for taking on the burden to educate during these challenging times, Dr. Culbreath! What can clinical microbiologists, especially trainees new to the field, do to better support their Black colleagues?

[Thao Truong, PhD, D(ABMM) @microthao]

We can do much better @Harvard @harvardmed. My classmates at the Harvard Coalition for Black Lives have put a lot of time and thought into this actionable plan. Please support and share #MatchMeHarvard

[#MatchMeHarvard @matchmeharvard]

Help us spread the message that the Harvard Coalition for Black Lives have crafted for systematic social justice & reform at our institution. We need your help in ensuring our voices are heard by the public, the administration, & the President Larry Bacow.

I know a lot of folks are wishing everyone would get on to positive things and stop perseverating on racism and the recent killings of unarmed black people.

Trust me—we’ve been wishing that for centuries now. Please allow yourselves to be uncomfortable and disrupted, too.

[Truss Leadership @trussleadership]

To my white educators: Today, you’re posting about social justice, buying antiracist books, following brown folks, and temp changing your profile pictures. (thread)

Here’s what I need you to do tomorrow:
