As we catch up on the news about Texas's new abortion law, we think of Jane, a network of women who provided abortions before Roe v. Wade. Here's their story. ow.ly/U5yv50G2uQ9 @ACLU @PPFA #RoeVWade #SCOTUS

1st day co-teaching our graduate class “Indigenous Research & Ethics” @UAZPublicHealth. As a Yoeme scholar, I’m honored to Indigenize course content, challenge ourselves to rethink our research biases, amplify Indigenous scholarship & showcase how communities use data as activism

Two years ago, I asked hundreds of neuroscientists (including many of you!) at various levels about their skills and career trajectories. Now, I can finally share some of those insights in my first senior author preprint, with Saloni Shah! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

REMEMBER that conviction only happened because George Floyd’s family, the PEOPLE, marched, shouted, and risked everything. They tried to say that he died from “natural causes.” Remember that? It shouldn’t take all this to get the bare minimum of justice. And #WeAreDoneDying.

UCSD is increasing their rent costs 25-73% (!) for grad housing this summer, changing it from an affordable option to a rate on par with the rest of the expensive neighborhood it is situated in. this is going to deter so many prospective students from enrolling! this is horrible.

Excited for #BlackInEnto this week! I'm a PhD student at the University of Georgia and I currently study the gut bacteria of triatomines (aka kissing bugs, aka Rhodnius pallescens)! Outside of research I also love working with kids #RollCall #BlackEntomologists

Listen to this cool episode of @RadScientistPod about the Leaky Pipeline in Science!
Replying to @Brains_n_Bugs
The production of this episode had help from @science_ari @alisabarba @ikranomy and interviews with @BasHofstra and @marcus_phd that couldn’t make it in because of time.
