Queer and intersectional identities are revolutionizing how science gets done. For International Transgender Day of Visibility, we’re sharing scientists’ first-person accounts of the joys and challenges of being trans in STEMM. 🧵

Filing this pearl of wisdom away for liberal future use.

“Hot chips” is the answer to approx 50% of strategic quandaries

@sab_svp Thanks for sharing that response. So many problems with the premise, tone and omissions of the NYT article.

[Stephanie Brown, PhD @sab_svp]

Lazy journalism, alarmist language in the @nytimes' 11/14 article, "They Paused Puberty, But Is There a Cost?" Our loved ones are at risk due to extremists who are looking for a target for hate and violence. The NYT needs to do better. 1/5

Museum friends: Looking for a space to stay connected and in conversation with other museum professionals?Check out the MAP community!

[Museums as Progress @museumprogress]

1/ For museum folks looking for new virtual spaces to connect, the MAP Community is opening a free, open space for discussion, stories, and events.

[Museums as Progress @museumprogress]

Before you can initiate internal discussions about fostering a greater sense of belonging in your museum, you may need to counter assumptions that the museum is a welcoming space today.

Just donated. Museum friends, if you haven't already, join me in supporting the @PMA_Union strike fund.

[Philly Cultural Workers United @PhillyCWU]

How do we have all the supplies we needed to pull off picket lines with hundreds of people across three buildings? Our strike fund!!

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, please help us keep building!! https://t.co/1TOjCCVWkl

@fermoso @Oaklandside I live 2 blocks from that intersection. Even worse is crossing streets on foot at Claremont & Hudson (@ freeway onramp). Drivers intent on getting onto the freeway are oblivious to pedestrians. It can be terrifying.

[Dra. Mónica Feliú Mójer @moefeliu]

Many have asked, how can I support #PuertoRico after #Fiona? @CienciaPR has put together a list of vetted nonprofits & volunteering opp's. We also have a list of free mental health & public health resources. We will continue updating info as we receive it.

Funny, and also a good reality check for everyone engaged in creating museum experiences... we hope and design for moments of epiphany, deep reflection and discussion. Sometimes those things happen. But visitors are doing their own thing!

@alexismadrigal If you figure that out, let me know! They're definitely not a normal part of the indoor arthropod ecosystem in my house.

[Tamara Schwarz @tbschwarz]

@alexismadrigal I bet they're the same as what I'm seeing in my kitchen the past two days. They like to hang out on/near the ceiling, which makes photos difficult.

[Tamara Schwarz @tbschwarz]

@KateHG4 It's heart-breaking. Hard not to be overwhelmed by the dismal state of things some days...

[Tamara Schwarz @tbschwarz]

A mass die-off of marine life in Oakland's Lake Merritt & other parts of San Francisco Bay + impending severe heat dome for CA... dystopian Labor Day weekend, anyone?? 🥵😭

[The Oaklandside @Oaklandside]

Alarmed by the fish 🐟die-off at Lake Merritt?

Why is it happening? What impact will it have on the lake ecosystem? Is there anything we can do to prevent further damage? 🧵

Important to understand the ripple effects of this event and other anomalous weather and ecological events. See https://t.co/uAmYvjjAzs and @damontighe tweeting his observations of the impacts.
