While working on her PhD in chemistry at UCLA, Samantha Mensah has put in long hours trying to make chemistry more welcoming to underrepresented people. She cofounded the nonprofit BlackInChem, which helps Black chemists network and support each other: bit.ly/3tMQl3M

Hello, it's me, a postdoctoral student. A student with a whole PhD, 11 first author publications, teaching classes of 200+ students at a time. A mere student. I hope I get an A in being a postdoc.

tbt to when the Physics dept at my undergrad didnt adjust my grade after i caught a professor notoriously known for being sexist deliberately grading me lower, implying a C+ wasnt the end of the world wanna guess what one of my NSF GFRP reviewer's only criticism of me was? :)

James Cameron called the Lakota nation a “hopeless” and “dead end society” Besides that statement being a blatant lie he was actually talking about his films post ‘97. All hopeless dead ends and now he’s dying at the final dead end

Do NOT watch Avatar: The Way of Water Join Natives & other Indigenous groups around the world in boycotting this horrible & racist film. Our cultures were appropriated in a harmful manner to satisfy some 🏳 man's savior complex. No more Blueface! Lakota people are powerful!

Sounds a lot like grad school to me

I am so angry for my disabled students. So many come to office hours to tell me about how the were turned away from jobs, told not to pursue certain coursework and careers, and told they're not a good "fit" for internships. These are goddamn brilliant kids. 1/3

This absolutely devastates me. Sammy Mensah was wonderful, and it was such an honour to have known her. Sammy was one of our STEM Heroes. She asked to be drawn like The Magic School Bus inside a carbon nanotube, and her portrait was turned into a free colouring sheet for kids.

I have incels in my DMs complaining about how Lizzo is unhealthy, for some reason, and I would like to reiterate my original challenge: Do one of her dance routines and play any wind instrument. You can even do it in flats. Show her up

TSSU shut it down today! Picket lines were lit 🔥 This is what solidarity looks like! ✊✊✊✊

What is happening in Hawaii & elsewhere is climate coloniality, where colonial & imperial oppression, capitalist exploitation & racialized control create conditions of worsening climate injustices. Couple of readings to explain.🧵 1 #ClimateColoniality➡️ farhanasultana.com/climate-coloni…

Reports are confirming 80 dead, so far, and the The New York Times is reporting that a white settler couple successfully recovered a ROLEX watch from their Lāhainā home.
