Although we are not federally funded for this summer, WE WILL STILL RUN The National Summer Undergraduate Research Project (NSURP) in 2025. We remain committed to the work that needs to be done and will continue to meet people where they are. 1/4 nsurp.org

Good morning. The dance, whatever that means to you, is worth fighting for. “During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, protested in the afternoon and danced all night. The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.

I gave a talk about this book in 2023. rarely do scientists think abt their work as activism. in doing so we don’t allow ourselves to use the tools that people before us have mastered and shared. When you do the work w/o the label, you’re just taking on the load without the tools to handle it.

Here’s the web archive’s most recent snapshot (1/24/2025) of this page: web.archive.org/web/20250124... Notice how WIDE RANGING and contextual this notice is: it includes socio-economic diversity as well as racial and gender diversity. This administration’s actions are blatant overreaching

I cannot stress enough how important private funding will be for underrepresented (UR) scientists for the next 4 years. NSF and NIH fund summer research opportunities for UR undergrad students in STEM, mentoring programs starting in high school, funds for UR PhD students, & more.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them. Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is. Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

Getting rid of diversity supplements is devastating. I run a seminar series for up and coming scientists. One thing I can do to help is to ensure this series represents the full diversity of the scientists in our field. Pass this along and help us make that possible. bsky.app/profile/mike...

My outpatient hysterectomy turned into an 8-hour ordeal and 5-day hospital stay due to complications including a bowel tear. I’m grateful for the capable team I had who saved my life, and that I wasn’t saddled with paying for hours of unanticipated “extra” anesthesia by an evil insurance company.

🧪TLDR: "Program leadership must work to incorporate the needs of their grad students into practice, even if their suggestions seem too unfeasible to implement. To do otherwise is to continue dismissing and discounting the dreams, voices, and desires of the communities we serve."

This article is fantastic, and contains a helpful and sensible list of accommodations that can and should be made for disabled people at conferences. Absolutely going to implement as many of these as possible for the UK NMR managers meeting at the UCL School of Pharmacy in June. #DisabledInSTEM

At a recent conference, I was in a panel where many of us raised the idea that changing the reward structure in academia is the clearest path to achieving greater equity. I also suggested that mentoring should be added as an area of excellence. Later, someone asked me how could that be done? 🧵
