Congratulations Deborah Wu on your new assistant professor position + new marriage! Big milestones. I'm so proud of you.

A better way to conduct replication research. A better way to identify boundary conditions to original findings. And identify how changes in the social context on the ground changed research findings. Great collaboration. Thank you Benedek Kurdi, Mahzarin Banaji and Alex Sanchez

I wrote this essay to highlight a point that's so clear to me but seems to be missing from the national conversation & funding agency priorities #STEM #Diversity #inclusion To Make Science and Engineering More Diverse, Make Research Socially Relevant issues.org/science-engine…

Learning community transforms 1stgen experience in biology in new study rdcu.be/dGD4X. Kudos Deborah Wu. Dr. Linda Ziegenbein says its not lack of talent that prevents 1stgen success. Its lack of belonging. Peers & advocates helps them grow into their potential College of Natural Sciences at UMass Amherst

Excited to be in beautiful Heidelberg, Germany giving a keynote talk at the international conference of the gender & STEM network and learning from others’ research. Our lab’s solution-focused research hit a sweet spot. Excellent questions & comments from attendees. #STEM #gender

I've been curious about Shyamala Gopalan, Kamala Harris' mother, who got involved in civil rights activism as a grad student and was a single parent. Was Shyamala Gopalan more bratty than Kamala in daring to defy cultural expectations? I like this answer: nytimes.com/2024/08/21/opi…
