Ok here you go. Here's what I wrote to the CBC Ombudsman. - As an award-winning Canadian journalist, I am writing to express my profound disappointment regarding the upcoming radio program hosted by Ian Hanomansing, which aims to discuss the idea of Canada becoming the USA's 51st state. 1/

Super excited to finally present the preprint to accompany Kaptive 3 which we released last year! Big thanks to coauthors @kelwyres.bsky.social, @katholt.bsky.social, @genomarit.bsky.social and Iren Löhr. Here's what we did to improve in silico antigen typing 👇🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

As an aside, community is how i feel sane with the current political climate, and reminds me how important the work we do is. I'm so grateful to be able to co-create this community with everyone involved 🫡

There are strong reasons that we avoided associating @prideinmicro.bsky.social as an integrated part of another institution. @asm.org's response does not do what it needs to to reassure underrepresented microbiologists that we won't be tossed aside when we aren't politically useful anymore

@asm.org this better not be anticipatory obedience. I have 5 lab members planning on going to ASM microbe this year. I will absolutely pivot to another meeting if ASM gives in to anti-DEI efforts.

I wrote a blog post for Pride Month with @asm.org's IDEAA committee last year, on 2SLGBTQIA+ Data Collection. That blog post (and all of the pages related to IDEAA) are now "Under Review". This one stings a lot. asm.org/Articles/202...

If you're going to go into STEM I feel like a philosopher should follow you around with a gun to your head forever.

Around this time last year @boyswillbebugs.bsky.social, @allomygale.bsky.social, @spissatella.bsky.social, @jfmclaughlin92.bsky.social and I published an open letter on supporting transgender persons in STEMM. We have decided to open to additional signatures 🧪⚒️🦑 medium.com/@transrights...

The anti-trans movement has been shockingly fast and effective. It's already narrowing trans peoples'—and trans scientists'—ability to live full, open lives. This letter details the threat and makes specific recommendations to help trans folks in STEM, and you can sign on to show your support!

If anyone has been following the advertising for @prideinmicro.bsky.social's LGBTQ+ STEM Day Research Symposium and is wondering why we plan stuff like this, see below. 🏳️‍⚧️ I've been attending and organizing Queer and Trans STEM conferences since 2019 and I couldn't have said it better myself 🏳️‍🌈

Happy #LGBTQSTEMday! More than a decade (!) ago, I asked a social scientist friend to help build a study of queer identities in science careers after my literature searches came up empty — this year I helped with an evidence review that found SO MUCH on the topic, and still room for more work.
