It would be nice if people could stop acting like DEI is an only a moral good. DEI strengthens organizations. People from diverse backgrounds bring new ways of solving problems and serving people. DEI isn’t a gift to diverse people. It’s a gift to the orgs that hire us.

I receive a lot of feedback on social media asking me to keep politics out of science. But what they really mean is "keep the status quo" and "don't challenge a notion about society and science that makes me more comfortable" #scienceispolitical #stem #politics

The society we live in was designed to uplift certain groups and marginalize others. The system works perfectly. Eliminating DEI work in the name of meritocracy and unification is making sure that the system continues to work as it was designed to work for the people it was designed to work for.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Costco, Microsoft, Apple and Pinterest are doubling down on DEI. Because diversity, equity and inclusion are good for business. #DEI www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/b...

In addition to supporting DEI and collaborating with local communities, scientists should use indigenous names and common names when describing species, study sites, etc. Indigenous people deserve respect when research is conducted on their land. #Science #MarineScience #Academia

Scientists can and should lead the charge in equity by committing to DEI work despite federal rollbacks by the Trump admin. These actions are vital for the integrity and equity of our research, sci comm, and impact on society #DEI #STEM

Marginalized communities face the worst climate impacts. Trump repealed the Equal Employment Opportunity Act + dismantled DEI initiatives - this WILL exacerbate injustice and inequality in climate research/policy. Diversity is necessary for equity in climate solutions. #DEI #environmentaljustice

Are there any BIPOC marine mammal scientists open to connecting with an early career scientist to discuss career development and navigating racism in the field?

Nothing bad has ever come from NOT diversifying your economic portfolio. Can't foresee this negatively impacting the country at all.

An artist named Noah (@liveforlines an Instagram) made this whale tail art on Wickaninnish Beach about a week ago. It's bull kelp and driftwood... presumably when the next storm rolls in it'll be scattered across the beach, again. #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland #PNW

Skype a Scientist @skypeascientist.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

BIG NEWS! For the first time ever, Skype a Scientist is offering mini-grants to support IRL science communication! Communicating science out in our communities is critical. We want to enable folks from around the US to get local projects off the ground. Learn more & apply at bit.ly/scienceirl

A shad (a fish) has a speech bubble that reads "Science IRL community scicomm mini-grant" with a mural in the background with wavy bits and freshwater mussels. Then in other bubbles it says "$300-1000 grants to support offline science communication apply by feb 14, and the link bit.ly/scienceirl
