This is true. A loved one faced with a fetus that was already dead had excellent support when she chose induction. She would have had nothing if she'd chosen a D&E. She wouldn't have been allowed to see the remains. Women should not be coerced into labor.

@funky49 Hahaha, nice! I like the discussion in the comments 😂

@PsionicPsittacc And a pleasure, sir.

@kmca43 Twas an honour, ma'am.

I think I might be done here. It's been real, folks.

Chattel slavery was not a jobs or apprenticeship program. It was a system of violently enforced stolen labor and a crime against humanity and the fact that enslaved people resisted, used their minds, had skills, lived and survived does not in one bit diminish the crime.

The Long History of Nobody Wants to Work Anymore 🧵

I know many of you who have that option have moved on from the affirmative action ruling, but I can't stop obsessing over that Sandra Day O'Connor said that after four centuries racism would be over in 25 years, as if that were an indisputable fact, and the Court said:absolutely!

@ADiaz_PhD Not first gen but my parents didn't get PhDs and didn't know anything about the research landscape. I ended up in an REU at a professor's suggestion, and it seemed a solid half of us weren't sure we deserved to be there.

I did research as an undergrad but only learned about it towards the end of my studies when I overheard a conversation during lunch. As first-gen, we often miss out on opportunities simply because we aren't even aware of their existence. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I am in LOVE with this picture of us at the White House!! An astronaut, aquanaut, two astrophysicists and a molecular biologist right here in this photo 🥰 these are the faces of science.

As a NextProf (Engineering) alumna, I definitely recommend this opportunity to eligible #engineering grad students. The PathFinder program is unique in targeting early-stage grad school students instead of students close to graduation/postdocs.

I never fully understood "work wife" until I called one of my closest colleagues by my husband's name 😆

@philipcball I know how that goes. Thanks for your commitment to clarity!

@philipcball Thanks for making the limitations so clear. I'm curious how you view ISSCR guidelines. Did your editor choose the headline "synthetic human embryos"? (I know a lot of publications ran with "synthetic embryos")

A forced birth is a form of sexual violence. Pregnant people are traveling as far as a thousand miles and more to escape that violence. This is the state of human rights in the US for those in female bodies.

A state government demanding medical records so it can go after those it deems deviant. This isn't a slide toward fascism - we're in it now.

@pauldauenhauer Gee, sounds like a death panel at work there.

Happy Pride Month! A big thank you to the trans scientists, ranging from early career to emeritus professor, who shared their stories with me. Thread: nature.com/articles/d4158…

(4/n) Computer scientist Lynn Conway (1938- ), who invented dynamic instruction scheduling, a way for computers to execute commands out of order, which pioneered the development of supercomputers. IBM fired her when she transitioned in 1968. ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/…

Bring on the sun 😎 ☀️ @umichece researchers created a solar panel that can convert water into hydrogen & oxygen as opposed to using methane. This new method can also reduce carbon emissions [article] bit.ly/3InhDXr

You and your solar panels could soak up the sun at the same time 🌞 @umichece Professor Stephen Forrest’s research has gotten even closer to the production of semitransparent solar cell windows [article] bit.ly/3WJwXTr
