Meme made from a photo from inside of a car going through a Starbucks drive thru. On the background several employees are looking amused and happy at what’s inside the car and a caption there reads “every scientist on twitter”. Inside the car we see the silhouette of a cute kitty looking at the employees and a caption here reads “Carolyn Bertozzi”

Really important thread about what building a lab is like as a new PI in the tumult (societal and economic) of COVID and how impacts are much greater than can be accounted with the one year extension some universities give some people.

"She can't get inside the building because of her wheelchair." No. She can't get inside because the building is not accessible. The building has a barrier that does not let her in. The wheelchair is not the problem; the building's lack of access is the problem. Words matter.

CIROH at The University of Alabama

I'm a fan of what #CIROH is trying to achieve, but I can't help but notice that these pictures are of participants who are overwhelmingly men. Our science misses out on ideas and talents when women aren't at the table. How do we do better over the next 5 years?

For the first time in 7 years I’m speaking about my department chair experience publicly. This isn’t a tweet. It isn’t an blog post. It’s my mouth saying what needs to be said for others to get free. osu.zoom.us/meeting/regist

i tweet about my #trauma, my #mentalhealth, the #bullying & #toxicity I endured at CC, because my story is not unique. it is so common i had folks who protected me thru P&T but those same folks seem unwilling to do the hard work to change the system #DoBetter

For many Central Americans, this denial of whiteness also tells a lot about the role their families played in the civil war/armed conflict/genocide. Because white Central Americans were not victims of statehood, some of them actively served the army to protect their settler govt.

It's so funny how there are Black people in Latin America but no white people. Conveniently they are "white-presenting," "white-passing," "white-assumed" & every other nonsensical, lying ass, cowardly behind, avoidance of accountability & reality twisting white delusional cop-out
