The NSF and NIH have now finally admitted to racial bias in grant funding. The question is now––what are these funding agencies going to do about it? osf.io/xb57u/

We just read the ACS Publications Diversity report and we knew the numbers were this bad but it actually hurts to see it in writing. We have to do better. Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day! axial.acs.org/acs-diversity-…

Two of us from Smith College are on this list! @916ice @smithcollege. Many thanks to those who took the time to highlight Black excellence in science.
28 Dec 2020
With this final list, @CommofScholars and @phdgprotein86 hope to dismantle the myth that outstanding Black scientists make up a small percentage of the scientific community.

1st characterization of a microbiome & transcriptome at Ely Copper Mine, an EPA Superfund site! Could this metal-polluted environment be a source of new drugs? Could metal resistance genes help us find new antibiotics? Read to find out.
