"The experiences I went through while being molded into the archetypal 'American scientist' challenged my mental health and pushed me to question the ethics and power dynamics of scientific knowledge production." -@TheSci_intrface #LatinxInSTEM 4/5 sisterstem.org/2021/10/20/dr…

Must watch speech by neuroscientist Kailyn Price at a HHS rally protesting funding cuts to science.
"Cutting indirect costs is like telling a football team to work with only the players.
No lights for the field, no physical therapists for the players, no water for the showers."

Tonight I found out that the NSF math postdoctoral fellowship I applied for is being deleted because it does not comply with Trump’s executive orders on DEI in the federal government. I’m going to answer some FAQs and share some thoughts about this ordeal in this thread 1/n

The government censoring scientists is horrific.
But what is even more horrific is that many non-government scientists and institutions are self-censoring themselves because they are scared of the government and losing funding.
Authoritarianism wins when we comply in advance!

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

I got on this call only kind of knowing what a zine was, and left thinking that I should get into zine making.
Y'all should really listen to our new season focused on activism on the academy.
Huge thanks to @wangshuf and @taylormcruz for sharing your brilliance.

The hill I will die on: STEM grad programs MUST teach PhD students how to communicate their science to the public and legislators alike. This is 💯 not a drill.

As this has gotten some attention from people wondering why Rosalind Lee did not also receive the Nobel Prize, might be a good time to talk about the Mathilda Effect, wherein men receive the credit for work of their women collaborators... not sure that is what happened here... 1/

Congrats to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun!
This post with Rosalind Lee 👇, who was first author on one of the seminal Cell papers, is begging for more context. We need more stories that show science as collaboration & what that means for award-winning discoveries!

The University of Washington CS school is an unsafe environment for women, so as grad application season starts, please tell your students not to apply. There are at least 3 men in the systems lab that have sexually harassed numerous women and they continue to do so.

BREAKING: A district court ruled that University of Maryland’s ban on all student-led expressive events scheduled for October 7 violates students’ First Amendment rights.
This is a win for all of our right to speak out about matters that concern us.

A week or so ago, I decided to try and figure out how many colleges and universities changed their protest policies over the summer.
The answer: 50 campuses across the country.
