If you’re a federal govt employee targeted for leave or termination on the basis of your DEI work, please file an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) complaint & retain legal counsel.

I’m a former NIH PI. Happy to refer you to a law firm that has successfully sued the govt many times!

Pls repost 🙏❤️

This is a formality because history teaches us exactly whose schools get closed, but here are the demographics of Excel High School:

Race and ethnicity:

32.6% African American (vs 28% district average)
15.5% Asian (vs 8% district avg)
36.2% Hispanic (vs 45% district avg)
10% white (vs 15% district avg)
2x the district avg for Pacific Islander and multi-race non-Hispanic.

92% high needs
82% low income

My dudes, turn this shit off. On iOS it's under Settings > Apps > Photos > scroll all the way down.

Apple has opted iOS and MacOS users into an AI photo scanning feature which tries to extract landmarks from your photos called Enhanced Visual Search by default with little notice.

Apple opts everyone into having their Photos analyzed by AI

Homomorphic-based Enhanced Visual Search is so privacy-preserving, iPhone giant activated it without asking

For general reading, I prefer san serif fonts. But it makes sense to me that users should be able to customize app settings based on their own preferences.

As a chem teacher I got tired of screaming into void about needing a font to distinguish the Arabic number one, a lower case L, an upper case i, and a Roman numeral one, so I made this:

If you hydrate them in liquid with universal indicator in they can be used as little pH meters.

Kiddos mix colourless liquids and add a bead... so pretty.

Authentic community engagement is trickier! I run demo-based projects twice a year and there are a small number of topics that students might see relevant to their own culture or community (food and arts seem to have the best crossover).

I generally find that making a public product (project involving a presentation, poster, video, etc) gives students more ownership and pride. For day-to-day work, whiteboard presentations can be useful but don’t always fit the bill.
