It is an affront that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, under pressure from President Trump, would deny entry to representatives of the U.S. government. My full statement:

Between 1975 and 2020 (45 years!) we have moved the percentage of Black faculty from 4.4 to 5.7. A whole 1.3% in 45 yrs. Pro Tip: Diversity statements don’t hire Black faculty, pushing back against Whiteness and systemic racism does! #HireBlackfaculty #BlackLivesMatter

So proud of the work from the ESPM GDC this past week when things are loud, but also in all the quiet times when nobody seems to be paying attention. #BlackLivesMatter #Berkeley #BlackInSTEM #BlackInTheIvoryTower Berkeley Environmental Science, Policy & Mngmt UC Berkeley

#ScholarStrike needs to be trending, y’all! The fact that it’s not yet trending is alarming. #AcademicTwitter community, we need to do better.

Let’s discuss #AtmosphereSoWhite. This is a discussion so feel free to reply and quote any questions on this thread. We just ask that folks (non-black allies) are sensitive to stories and conversations that come from this.

Today is the kickoff of #BlackMammalogists Week , in partnership with Am Soc Mammalogists and National Geographic Society , with live streams hosted by AmyPoehlerSmartGirls ! We are so excited to have these amazing partners and support. Here we go...!

Let's hear you: what's your favorite misunderstood or misrepresented mammal? #MisunderstoodMammal #BlackMammalogists

We have raised over $7,000 for this scholarship for #Black and #Indigenous scholars. HELP US OUT and share this. If there is one thing you do during #BlackMammalogists Week, it should be promoting this fundraiser to make a lasting change. gofundme.com/f/black-mammal…

Researchers from the UC Berkeley lab of Professor Rodrigo Almeida used bacterial DNA from a 120-year-old herbarium specimen to reconstruct the history of how Pierce’s disease—which causes more than $100 million in losses a year—spread across California. news.berkeley.edu/2024/12/16/wha…

I'm thrilled to share our paper that just got published in Current Biology "Century-old herbarium specimen provides insights into Pierce’s disease of grapevines emergence in the Americas" Check it out for a foray into epidemiology and CA wine history cell.com/current-biolog…

Using DNA from a 120-year-old preserved plant sample, researchers reconstructed how a common plant disease that causes more than $100 million in losses per year in California alone spread across the state. Read more: bit.ly/4g8qycy
