Just finalized the slide deck for @outtoinnovate.bsky.social workshop tomorrow and it has EVERYTHING: - Norman Rockwell - Star Trek - LEGO - bird photography - David Hyde Pierce's Treasure Planet freakout about doctorates - multiple applications of Bayesian statistics - Portland, for some reason

Title slide for my workshop, Data for speaking: bringing STEM skills to community advocacy

Half the slide is title information; the rest is Norman Rockwell's 'Freedom of Speech' with chalked graphs and figures added to the wall behind the speaker

Today is Int'l Transgender Day of Visibility. In celebration, we're recognizing a few incredible, openly trans figures in STEM: Angelica Ross, Dr. Karissa Sanbonmatsu, Dr. Ben Barres, & Col. Bree Fram. While only a short list, we applaud them for their achievements in both STEM and their activism.

A photo of Angelica Ross
Text: Angelica Ross is a self-taught computer programmer and multi-hyphenate who founded TransTech Social Enterprises, which helps trans programmers find employment in the tech industry. Ross was featured as a speaker at the 2015 White House LGBTQ Tech Innovation Summit and continues working as an actress.

A photo of Dr. Sanbonmatsu
Text: Dr. Karissa Sanbonmatsu is an RNA biologist at Los Alamos National Laboratory who began work in plasma physics and shifted to using supercomputers to simulate ribosomes at the molecular level, as well as other nucleic acid structures such as long non-coding RNAs and tRNA translocation.

A photo of Dr. Barres in a cap and gown
Text: Dr. Ben Barres was a neuroscience professor at Stanford University where he studied mammalian glial cell function, astrocyte differentiation, and oligodendrocyte development. Dr. Barres was also the namesake for Out to Innovate’s scholarship program at its founding.

A photo of Col. Bree Fram in an officer's uniform with an American flag in the background.
Text: Colonel Bree Fram is an astronautical engineer who served in the Air Force and continues to serve in the Space Force as the highest ranking openly trans officer in the U.S. Armed Forces. Col. Fram has led both the USAF LGBTQ+ Initiatives Team and SPARTA Pride and has spoken out against the trans military ban executive order.
