Handling tiny organisms prepares us for handling big responsibilities! Our 3 Masters graduates have been culturing bright futures during their time here at UD, now it’s time for their flagella to carry them onward, where they are sure to shine bright like Vibrio fischeri!

Nah bro. It’s us men, especially the privileged and powerful ones of us. And, you don’t need to see it. Women are smart enough to decipher their world and our actions. So, when a lot of them say this, I dunno, believe them 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

I do not see hostility towards any women in our department. It is a small sample though. What does the hostility look like which is particular to women. I found some hostility when I was a junior faculty.
