Hey, PIs in STEM: your #LGBTQIA+ students are not okay. Last night, the #Botany2021 #LGBTQ Challenges and Experiences discussion room was filled with students and they had a lot to say. (1/7) #IAmABotanist #QueerInSTEM #DiversifySTEM

This is for everyone who struggles with reading research papers. That used to be me. Pre-grad school, it could take me a week to at least get the gist of one paper. Well, not any longer. I’m a lot faster now and can go through multiple papers in a day. So what changed? ⬇️⬇️

Update! 🎉 In response to our continued pressure (bit.ly/3w8X3BB), the National Science Foundation has agreed to begin piloting both sexual orientation and gender identity questions for its U.S. STEM workforce surveys in April 2021 on n=7,800. One big step closer.
Update: Due to our efforts, NSF will be piloting a gender identity measure for its U.S. STEM workforce surveys in Feb. '21 on n=5000, but no promise of including it. Sexual orientation is still omitted entirely. We're going to keep at it. Thanks @ScienceMagazine for the coverage

The Democrats announced they plan to file legislation that would make voter registration of eligible citizens automatic when they turn 18, permit same-day registration on Election Day and make that day a holiday. Read more, at: ow.ly/W9gt50E9do5

Let’s remember that Beverly Cleary wrote a book in the 70s in which Ramona’s mom goes to work full-time, making her the sole breadwinner, & she doesn’t have time to sew Ramona’s Christmas pageant costume, so Ramona wears PJs. A toast to Beverly Cleary from moms who work.

Hi #NeuroscienceTwitter, curious how neuroscientists with colourblindness work with brain slices. For example, if you wanted to identify the size of a nuclei (like the one pictured), what tools might you use?
