I don't see enough people or reporters talking about the mass terminations of nih lgbtq+ grants that happened yesterday. How can we get the word out so communities understand the huge loss to science, safety, and economy this is?? #academicsky

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

There have been people less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, bc I know I am not unique in this experience.
No thank you to the physics study assoc that made me sing songs about how women couldn't study physics without sleeping with the professor, the day I stepped into university life. No thank you to the 5th year physics student that decided to assign me a stripper name within the first minute of meeting me in the physics coffee corner in my first year. No thank you to the technician that was responsible for onboarding me on the use of the cluster in my third year who raised his eyebrows and asked me if that meant I was some sort of computer girl. No thank you to the senior researcher that sent me utterly inappropriate texts after a conference, then proceeded to apologise months later by telling me they had not been meant for me anyway so no hard feelings remain hopefully And no thank you to him for attending every conference I've been to since. No thank you to the people who told me that it was surprising that I was doing a PhD since I was a girl. No thank you to the man who mistook me for a coffee lady at a conference, and after having to correct him two times that I did not work there, responded with you should consider it. No thank you to the researcher that asked me what I was wearing underneath my outfit during a conference. No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists don't know how to design an experiment. No thank you to the people who have called me scary instead of strong and intimidating instead of intelligent.
And finally, no thank you to the exec board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted.
... You have made me feel like I do not belong in science & I cannot forgive you for that.

I could have written one of these. It would have been very similar and that was more than 30 years ago. The pace of change in physics is way too slow. ⚛️ 🎢 👩‍🔬

Over on the other site, this is what corruption in scientific publishing looks like. This is a common theme for "lab leak" papers and has already occurred multiple times.

Forget a clean room, we can do most of our larger feature #microfluidics on a resin based #3Dprinter. Here’s a PDMS mold for a serpentine mixer that you can even bake at 120C.

Three seconds into this clip, a spinning sphere full of fluid stops. But the fluid interior keeps spinning! The flow at the surface develops nice horizontal shear lines and then becomes turbulent. 🧪 🔭 #Physics #FluidDynamics

I happened to be in the right place at the right time to see THIS happening: #fungifriends #fungifriday #slimemold 🍄📷

Shiny wet bright yellow slime mold (I think?) growing in a sort of webby network along the bottom of a thick branch, with a couple of long gooey strands dripping downward like stalactites or icicles

My most popular comic is about how people with privilege don't understand how others have to work 1000% harder to get where they are. A cropped version made it on to Neurospicy Facebook and it's been shared, uncredited, tens of thousands of times. 🙃 howbabycomic.com/comic/hb464/

Comic depicting a person (me, circa 2020) struggling to form a platform out of mismatched blocks, while someone on a solid cube platform says 'Why is it so hard for you? Just do it like I did.'
