Rosalind Franklin, born 100 years ago today, made a significant contribution to the discovery of the DNA double helix, but was overlooked for a Nobel prize. bit.ly/32Pg6o7

Congratulations Hailey et al.! @HaileyDLovelace

I will add a statement to my syllabus that requires students to have a socially-distanced, absolutely required in-person meeting with the instructor both on the first and last day of the semester. It is worth 1% of the final grade and is non-negotiable. ice.gov/news/releases/…

Here is our new lab poster and our commitment. Thanks to @SammyKatta for the idea and templates. More here: sammykatta.com/diversity
