I had to take a week off of lab work because I had Covid for the first time, and I am in disbelief that most people don't mask regularly like me and my community do. I do NOT want to go through this again.

I'm currently attending the American College Personnel Association's 2025 conference in Long Beach, CA, and this is hands down the most affirming conference I've attended. Everyone I've talked to has been wonderful and eager to help out as they can! I'm 100% coming back! #ACPA25

Can people stop using Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in a negative way? DEI is not synonymous with being unqualified.
Don't let them co-opting the term become the definition.

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!

I'm gonna say the quiet part aloud. Sadly there are many in scientific, academic & healthcare ranks as well as in the leadership of professional societies who support the purge of DEI.
The failure to peak out forcefully and rush to comply by some is unsurprising.

Removal of DEI content from a microbiology group’s website shows reach of Trump executive orders
The professional society for microbiologists stripped content about Black, female, and LGBTQ scientists from its website

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

GOOD NEWS: A federal court temporarily halted President Trump's order to freeze all federal funding, including grants for public health, education, and safety.
Trump's order would have devastating consequences for communities in every corner of the nation. Our leaders must block it for good.

I probably don't even need to say this, BUT. Me not posting about every nightmarish thing is not because I am not internally (or externally!) screaming multiple times per day, i just figure you heard about it from 100 other people posting about each new nightmare. I assure you, my soul is cracking.

If RFK Jr. were to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), his dangerous views could undermine decades of public health progress. Here’s why his beliefs are harmful. His confirmation hearing is this week. Let your senators know he cannot lead HHS

Life is pretty grim right now. Here's my #starterpack of writers, historians and institutes sharing quirky medical and science content that might serve as a welcome distraction. Make your corner of the world weird and wonderful. Never stop learning.
