"...the need for culture change does not only apply to LGBT+ scientists; it applies to all of those traditionally excluded from STEM—women, ethnic minorities, the disabled, and those with socioeconomic disadvantage (as well as the intersections between all of these groups)" 👏👏
"Are we all just scientists, regardless of gender or sexual orientation? Is science a meritocratic system free from any bias and discrimination?"
This week's #LGBTSTEMinar20 tries to address some of the issues that arise from these questions.

My talented partner submitted a design to decorate a traffic box and selected as a semifinalist. Finalists are determined by public vote. So many great options for 6 chances but please consider voting for "Bison" by Sam Barnum. Voting ends April 28!

My partner is taking a 2D design course during her first semester as an art student @CCDedu. The project for color theory: pick a color scheme to paint an activist. She chose an analogous color scheme to paint @TheAmandaGorman. I'm stoked to hang this one in my chemistry office
Naeher guesses left. Adriana Leon (with mud and grass all over her face) tucks it to the right corner, making it 2-2 with seconds to spare.
Folks, we are going to penalties
Do you know a new or soon-to-be Ph.D. who likes organometallic mechanisms, undergrad research, & the Pacific Northwest? We have a postdoc position available in the Bowring group at Reed College! https://t.co/doWzREpjCF Here's me with both rockstar past postdocs:
World, meet Will. He's a HS senior who did some fun lab stuff with me for the @DMRSEF and was a finalist in his category! He had a lot to learn with minimal guidance about organic chemistry and research in a lab and he crushed it. So proud!
Worst customer service ever when the store is open until 8 pm and was hung up on twice by representatives on the phone @ATT
Thanks for taking advantage of my partner's elderly aunt who died a month after being swindled into a brand new iPhone
Person in doctor's waiting area coughing and sniffling "I should have probably worn a mask." No shit? Maybe you could've grabbed one while walking past them in the entry or from any of the check in stations...?
Thanks for protecting others by wearing a mask when sick
4.5 years (not including summer semesters) of FT faculty teaching under my belt. If I were to write a "what I wish I'd known..." to my first day teacher self it'd be an entire book.
Students still amaze me & I'm always learning. Grades aren't quite done though so no party yet 🫠
A jury has found police officer Nathan Woodyard not guilty of manslaughter or even criminally negligent homicide for causing the death of innocent, unarmed 23-year-old Elijah McClain, who died after he was subdued by police and injected with ketamine by paramedics in 2019.
Today it happened. I was too sick to do my job. Left by 9:30 after arriving by 8 am for a make up lab. Luckily made it home before my guts showed themselves. Sorry students. It just wouldn't have been a good day for anyone if I had tried to push through.
Since the start of October... My partner was admitted to hospital overnight, a wallet was lost, one dog went to ER and 4 days later was puking blood so went to vet again only to find abnormal mass in stomach, and my car was hit & run sideswiped. It's day 12 of October 😩😭🫣
