A doctor took cancerous tissue from the uterus of a Black woman (Henrietta Lacks) w/o her consent. And scientists have used her cells and profited from it while her family (tricked & traumatised) have yet to be compensated.

Do you know why African-Americans align with so many COVID-19 co-morbidities? Structural racism. Food deserts=unequal access to healthy & fresh foods= diabetes, heart disease. Enviro injustices mean dirty air, water. Greed & neglect, subpar housing=asthma

Today I learned the plasmid I’ve been using for the past 9 months is actually missing an important domain and the company I got it from just decided not to put that information on their website. So that‘s fun. Moral of the story: always quintuple check sequences before cloning

Making a cultural reference that his undergrads do not understand, the grad student abruptly feels his own age.
ALT LGS stands in front of a class of students. He blankly looks down at the ground.

Ladies, if he:
* Solicits opinion of 3 strangers before agreeing to a date
* Takes months to reply
* Nitpicks about your appearance
* Demands you make major changes
* Won’t let you see friends unless they pay
He’s not the one. He’s a scientific journal.
