A statement from the BMA Board Members to the BMA Community and Beyond. Additional alt text to follow due to the character limit.

woooo it's live! very excited to share this piece in Cell, where we lay out how transphobia is deeply intertwined with other forms of oppression, how it shapes the way we frame research, and what other scientists + institutions can do to support trans scientists:

Rigorous science demands support of trans scientists. 🧪🏳️‍⚧️ "Together, we will emancipate our science from the strictures of bias, injustice, and inequity, to liberate not just those of us subjected to sexed and gendered oppression, but all people."

Seattle people: I will be piloting this community microbiology class next month on Sunday afternoons in the U district! If you know anyone (or anyone with 12+ year old kids) who wants to play with fermented foods and bacteria, please share the link! www.sound.bio/new-products...

Accepted! Look out for our massive upcoming piece on Sex, and how to study it in the 21st century!

I'm so excited to finally share the news that I was selected as a 2023 SCPAB Transition to Independence fellow! This award is truly life changing for me as it will provide funds for my future lab, and support to secure a faculty position. I'm so grateful! www.simonsfoundation.org/2023/09/12/s...
