1. Lynn Conway was an incredible woman. She pioneered supercomputers, was fired for transitioning, went stealth and started over with "no experience," inventing a type of chip that made mobile phones possible. She passed away yesterday. Subscribe to support my journalism.

No matter what anyone says about regarding sex education, relationships, gender “ideology” or whatever being taught in schools, you had better believe that they can’t sway the science curriculum. It isn’t ideological to inform children that people exist. It’s ideological not to.

We are opening a small grants scheme, where we will fund up to £1,000 for projects that support and develop LGBTQIA+ communities in STEM. We are excited to receive your applications to do brilliant stuff along the theme: "Queer in STEM beyond visibility" prideinstem.org/2024/06/25/sma…

Scotland's census results have been published! 🌈 🔵 4.0% of the population aged 16+ identified as LGB+ 🔵 0.44% of the population aged 16+ identified as trans or as someone with a trans history A landmark moment for LGBTQ inclusion but, remember, the data is political!

Extremely excited for the Royal Institution Pride Party The talks and activities sound incredible, as are the ace and aro-themed science demos that Sarah Cosgriff 🏳️‍🌈🇵🇭 and I will be showing off! 🖤🩶🤍💜💚 Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

It has been a week since the GLP announced that the Cass Review and the NHS covered up a shocking and huge increase in suicides after youth restrictions were put into place. Not a single major media outlet has covered this story, despite breathless anti-trans coverage.

Thanks to Al Pacifico-France, James Kusena PhD, and Sarah Cosgriff for being amazing guest speakers at our panel discussion on embracing intersectionality in STEM last night. It was such an incredible event, and we're grateful to everyone who attended and contributed.

This is tonight and there are still a few tickets available!! rigb.org/whats-on/big-p…

Last night was SO GOOD! Thank you Dr. Alfredo Carpineti 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ for inviting me to introduce queer(ing) ecologies to Royal Institution for Pride In STEM "The Big Science Pride Party" we talked about the reality of perspective, origins of bias, decolonising biology and breaking ecology...and bugs🥰🪳

Probably my favourite photo from last night... #QueeringEcology #Scicomm #DecoloniseBiology

Another multidisciplinary group critiqued the Cass Report. They confirmed our working group's findings re: poor methodology and unsupported assertions. This is damning stuff, folks.

The micro viral response to this tweet has been overwhelming, in both positive and negative ways, both intra- and extra-community. imo nothing about #disabilitypridemonth means one is forced to be delighted with their disability. it's just a drive from shame, to empowerment.
