Lots of new grad students starting in research labs this month, including many who have been taught (in subtle or overt ways) that they need to fight to prove they belong. It’s an exhausting way to spend your career. So I’m re-upping this for anyone who needs to hear it today:

Dr. Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson 🐙 Johnson on her new book 'What If We Get It Right?' “I think so often, the climate question, or implied question, is, ‘How do we avoid the apocalypse?’ And that’s not necessarily motivating or inspiring for a lot of people." More: rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
