it's another lovely spring day to REMIND YOU DELINQUENTS TO STOP "RESCUING" BABY ANIMALS. THEIR MOMS ARE MOST LIKELY NEARBY - SO MIND YOUR BUSINESS.

FAWNS, DROP EM'.
BIRDS, LEAVE EM'.
RACCOONS, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
FOXES?! -SWIPER NO SWIPING.
ARMADILLO?¿? ARMADILL-NO.

I see so many #DisabledInSTEM individuals forced to leave STEM.

It’s not on the individual when there’s widespread institutional ableism that prevents our success.

so many presentations but all so much fun!!!

[Dr. Jennifer Hill @Hill_EcoLab]

My undergraduates Ayden, Spencer, and Vance @sharksmoth all presented at ANS day today for our college. And Vance also represented LA Tech at the ULS summit this afternoon. These students have worked hard and taken on everything I throw at them with enthusiasm #ProudPI
