#DEI is under attack, but the stakes are higher than many realize. Universities *must stand firm* in defending it. I lay out why in my latest piece for @Nature Silence is complicity. Without DEI, we fail our students, our research, and our future. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

When my daughter came out to me she asked if being gay was “natural.” A classmate had suggested otherwise. As a professor of animal behavior I shared 2k+ examples from the animal kingdom! Those became a book. Today it’s still #1 top release & #3 best seller. #LoveWins #WildPride

Just watched this video by @GreenCareLab @ucdavis and what they are doing is so cool! One of my favorite things about living in Davis is the interaction with animals- farm and wild. They bring me peace, joy and happiness! Please check out the video! 1/ youtu.be/g8U4W-8JIV0?si=G4bB…

To fellow faculty/admin saying “we had it so much worse than grad students/postdocs do now!”/“Demanding $$ for childcare? We don’t even get that!” Sure. But see the thing is, this generation ain’t gonna lay back & take it. Respect & solidarity! #FairUCNow fairucnow.org/about/ – at Davis, CA

*We MUST re-evaluate how to reduce work stress & measure scientific success in more meaningful/personal ways* @DrAnneCarpenter prioritized health by transferring major grant & many personnel to collaborator, & formally naming staff scientist as co-leader of her now-smaller group!

2 years ago, everything was going great in my mid-career lab. Making a choice to reduce stress and prioritize my health turned out to have ripple effects - my colleagues, family, and friends are reaping the benefits, as am I. I tell my story in @eLife elifesciences.org/articles/8…

I’ve spent years researching stress & reproduction while navigating toxic academic culture as a Latina neurodiverse(ADHD) mom. By tenure I burned out. Panic attacks, multiple health issues. I drafted my resignation letter. Then the pandemic happened. And I decided to start over.
I began to see the inside of a doctor’s office more than my own..
