eltecolote.org/content/es/s... Feeling emotional to see this story & video series begin to rollout from @eltecolotesf.bsky.social! This work comes from a years-long partnership with the amazing Somos Investigadoras team & @ucsfpsych.bsky.social Diversity Committee Research Subcommittee - cheers! 💙

“The total amount of awards terminated was $165,050,447, suggesting loss of potential return on investment of over $400 million dollars, when considering that disruption to awards is likely to reduce return on investment for all dollars, not just the amount received.”

Fighting the urge to respond to emails with "this message does NOT find me well, thank you for asking." 🫠
