Calling research on gender identity “unscientific” and stating “no corrective action is possible here”…this letter should alarm all scientists. The scientific process refers to how you approach answering anything unknown about the natural world around us, not OPINION about the questions asked.

Graduating during the pandemic slowed down my process and is part of why I did two postdocs. Now as a first year faculty, all the federal grants are frozen. I love the work I do but this has all of us questioning how much www.science.org/content/arti...

We @chronicle.com reported on Friday that applications for F31 diversity fellowships had been withdrawn. Now, multiple scholars tell me their applications have been re-assigned to their original study sections, in a reversal of instructions NIH officials gave reviewers last week. #AcademicSky

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

The censorship begins: According to officials, the Trump administration is instructing health agencies including the CDC, FDA, NIH, and HHS to pause all external communications, such as health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites and social media posts.

It’s weird, isn’t it, that Octavia Butler predicted this. Almost beat for beat. I don’t mean to be woo. And prophecy is above my pay grade & outside my expertise. I’m just saying. 😳

The overlapping fires now should wake up Americans who don’t believe in climate change. It’s real, it’s here, and a world on fires and under water somewhere else is the future. Learn about climate change, do what you can, get involved, fight to reduce emissions, push politicians & halt this trend.

I attended a Black tech mixer this week where the panel was evangelizing AI as the future of the workforce. At some point, they asked what the audience’s biggest concerns about AI were. There were four options & none of them considered the environment. 🧪

Real life is not like science fiction, where the power usage required for processing rarely, if ever, factors into the plot. I still care very much about the ethics of AI usage but I really think its environmental and infrastructural impact desperately needs more exposure.

Happy Winter Solstice! These photos were taken with a pinhole camera I made from a beer can and left out from Summer to Winter Solstice - a 6 month exposure. Bottom line = Winter Solstice. Top line = Summer Solstice. The lines are the Sun moving across the sky w/some reflections. No line = clouds

We need to talk more about how heavy qualitative work can be. It’s one thing to conceptualize someone dying from cancer as an event in an equation, it’s entirely different to get a call from someone’s spouse saying that the person you sought to recruit for a study is no longer with us. Deep sigh 😞

Since last week, I have been more deeply reckoning with the fact that very little that we do is inconsequential. In that spirit of the choices we make shaping the world we live in for the better, goodbye X, hello BlueSky! Okay, now where are my Black women in STEM? 💜
