I’m proud to be a research scientist at an American public land-grant university leading a diverse team of future scientists.
We do science that companies WON’T do
We do science that agencies CAN’T do
We do science FOR THE PEOPLE
Please #StandUpForScience!!

😭 Not the UC Provost claiming that postdocs and grad students are only "part-time" workers. 😭😭😭 #FairUCNow
ALT A letter from the UC Provost with the following sentence underlined in red: "The part-time, professionally relevant work in which student employees engage helps recruit and support them while they earn their graduate degrees or, particularly in the case of postdocs, prepare to advance their careers as scholars."

I worry about widespread persecutions against US scientists from the extremists in the US Congress. The midterms should not be viewed as a hunting license vs American scientists. I hope our professional and scientific societies have a plan? thehill.com/policy/healthcar…

I’m a cis woman. My womanhood is not threatened by trans women. Their struggle is my struggle. Bodily autonomy & equal protection under the law. We are in this together. Always.

It’s so disturbing to watch this unfold here. As you might imagine they also don’t care much for science 🧬 or scientists (or me). I just hope the rest of the nation does not view this nonsense as mainstream in Texas. I came here because of our science innovation and @TXMedCenter

The new Texas Republican party platform calls homosexuality “an abnormal lifestyle choice,” says President Biden "was not legitimately elected," and says Texas students should “learn about the Humanity of the Preborn Child.” bit.ly/3HAmu58

I wish more people understood that the NIH standard for a postdoc salary should be considered a minimum not a maximum. In fact, the NIH itself pays *more* than the NRSA standard if you're working there. Left is if you're a postdoc outside NIH and right is if you're in.
ALT Table of NRSA standards for postdoc pay. Year 0 of experience is $54,840.
ALT Table of NIH Intramural postdoc pay. Year 0 with 0 experience has a range of $57,400-$64,000. Goes up from there.

It really troubles me to see #vaccineinjuries trending, From my forthcoming book with the working title “antiscience kills” @JHUPress: 200,000 unvaccinated Americans needlessly lost their lives from Covid because they believed the antivaccine activists and antiscience aggression

Today I’m having a pretty hard time wrapping my head around living in a state that views my uterus as a more dangerous object than an AR-15. Is the “right” to an assault rifle or being re-elected really more valuable than the children and adults lost in #Uvalde’s lives?

The “breastfeeding is free” narrative in the midst of an infant formula shortage is a great example of public ignorance of what it actually takes to successfully breastfeed.

This is correct. No one says this.

Even researchers don’t say “I do my own research.”
