Nicole. Biopharma researcher. Shameless nerd. Overindulges in science twitter, video games, and politics. She/Her.

Every bank in this country—this whole economy was built for free by enslaved Black people. They will never be able to afford to pay it back.

Joe Pesci opened the next episode of SNL saying he wanted to smack her in the mouth. Sinatra said she needed "her ass kicked". Her records were pulled from airplay and burned and bulldozed in protest. She was more brave, and more right, than she ever got credit for.

but they were, all of them, deceived, for another twitter was made

Healthcare should be free.

“Women earn more than 50% of PhD’s, but receive only 39% of postdoc fellowships & 18% of professorships.[..] The more decorated a male scientist is, the fewer women he trains, and universities hire their junior faculty members from these elite men’s labs.”

Nonnative English speakers from around the world have a harder time in many aspects of science, including delving into the literature, publishing, communicating their science, and attending conferences. https://t.co/mIYKvoXKgB @ScienceCareers

Re: game preservation, may I alert you to/remind you of The Collection Chamber, which packages up rare/hard to find/out of print games with custom installers to run on modern PCs. This was my source for PC Gamer's Reinstall column for years. https://t.co/LUFZZzCumA

@LBellNY @cmclymer Basically, both parts of this could have been avoided if not for the anti-abortion law in the first place.

[Petri Dish Witch @Nonsensicole]

@LBellNY @cmclymer If Nebraska didn't have such strict anti-abortion laws, she'd have been able to terminate her pregnancy sooner.

Remains also would have been disposed of properly if she had access to medical care. But again, illegal. So her options were to confess to a crime or try to cover it.

I’m old enough to remember when republicans said they’d never punish pregnant people who sought extralegal abortions.

This is EXACTLY what Republicans want

"Some 2,200 infants died in Tx in 2022, an increase of 227 deaths, or 11.5%, over the previous year. Infant deaths caused by severe genetic & birth defects rose by 21.6%. That spike reversed a nearly decade-long decline. Between 2014-2021, infant deaths had fallen by nearly 15%."

We SWARMED the halls of Congress today. Every head turned. Every jaw dropped. Revolution was in the air. The “progressives” begged us to stand down. But we held our ground. Nine of us were arrested.

We are in an emergency. We must act like it.

I approve this message.

@Takuza_Is_Back @JonathanLiles1 @ProfBillMcGuire You know someone's argument sucks when they link twitter videos instead of actual research data. 👍
