“It is not acceptable to recruit a variety of students into the laboratory, subject them to a variety of stress tests and abuses, and then keep the students who thrive under abuse and get rid of the students who aren't able to thrive in the lab. That's straight-up exploitation.”

👏👏👏
You know those labs that keep harming students, again and again? Some reflections on why it's so hard to stop this from happening and where our responsibilities lie.

Absolutely devastated to hear about Jane Goodall's passing. She was a champion in the field and for women biologists. She will be sorely missed, but her memory will live on to inspire generations of biologists and conservationists.
