My colleague Lupita and I were invited to share our stories as scientists 👩‍🔬 at the Diverse Women of STEM camp for high school students this past week at the Dallas College Brookhaven Campus and it was so fun! Thank you for the invitation! @dallascollegetx

So excited to have been accepted as a 2023 SMDP Biotech scholar. #SMDP paires you with industry mentors for a year to help students like me learn more about it. As part of the program I also got the chance to attend #BIO2023 and I enjoyed it a lot 🔬

In case you missed it: Women are less likely to be credited for their scientific contributions than men. It’s true across multiple fields & at all stages, with important repercussions for career progress. #WomenInSTEM #WomenInMedicine #MedTwitter

[Texas Students for DEI @TexasforDEI]

TODAY WE DEFEND DEI — Call and email reps on the TX House Higher Ed Committee and tell them to vote NO on SB 17 and SB 18

[Texas Students for DEI @TexasforDEI]

The TX Senate has passed SB16, which bans teaching about race and gender, SB 17, which bans many DEI programs/offices; and SB 18, which abolishes tenure. These bills will now go to the House. We need Texas faculty and students to come to the capitol on May 3rd at 2 pm! Info below

Thanks to @SACNASatUTSW, @UTSW_ostem, @ab_ester, @AnthHernVazq, Priscilla, @ADiaz_PhD and everyone for listening to this #latino #queer scientist!

[Román Ramos Báez (Romi) PhD @sensitiveroots]

Personal statements ask us to open up about our journey only to later use our experiences as weak points to justify our exclusion. When we share our confidence in ourselves it's painted as cockiness and pride. When we share our struggles we are blamed for them. How do we win?

[SACNAS@UTSW @SACNASatUTSW]

(1/5) For our second student highlights, we are highlighting Andrea Pineda Sanchez.

[SACNAS@UTSW @SACNASatUTSW]

Texas Senate Bill 17 aims to:

• Prohibit Texas universities/colleges to have DEI offices
• Prohibit hiring employees dedicated to DEI efforts
• Prohibit institutions to require any DEI or implicit bias trainings

@dbezwada, a member of @RJDLab, just received the 2023 Nominata Award which is the highest honor for academic and research accomplishment awarded by the @UTSWGradSchool. Big Congratulations, Divya!

[Priscilla Del Valle @prisdvmscience]

The UT system has already paused DEI efforts across their campuses.

[Priscilla Del Valle @prisdvmscience]

If you are a student/alumni/faculty at any of the UT institutions and you are interested in supporting the efforts to STOP the ban of DEI offices+ more that the Texas SB 17 proposes, please sign this petition! 🖊️

The Texas Senate Bill 17 to ban diversity efforts also states that if a student or employee “violates” the bill, they can be placed on unpaid leave for the academic year or fired.
