This article written by my PhD advisor @dbensasson.bsky.social "Summer temperature can predict the distribution of wild yeast populations" not only inspired my research but also inspired my creative side...

#WithoutNSF the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) won't receive the critical funding it needs to continue broadening the participation of underrepresented people in #STEM! Here's a 🧵 about my science journey. @neguse.house.gov @warnock.senate.gov @mikecrapo.bsky.social

It's hard not to feel lost right now. It's the end of an era. It's the end of a long chapter and you don't know what will be next. It doesn't help that pursuing a career in science may not be relevant in this climate. I can't imagine a life without funding or a life without STEM.
