Once they're in the database, their DNA can be used for any criminal investigation

I couldn't be more excited to see this year's presenters. One of the coolest parts of meeting online is that you'll get to share your work in front of a global audience - #BlackInMicro don't miss your chance to submit an abstract :)

Does anyone have an example of a successful F31 under the new format?

SABER's annual conference was filled with many new great connections, plus finding time w/ Angeline Dukes of #BlackInNeuro. After celebrating Justin Shaffer’s 📕 launch…I came home to find his new book 👀 on my doorstep! Now time to reflect on lessons learned. See everyone at the next SABER

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

October is about to be my new fav 🥹. Let’s go!! #BlackInMicro

Happy Giving Tuesday! ⭐ Join us in supporting @blackinmicro’s mission by donating here: blackinmicrobiology..... Your generosity makes a difference! Thank you!

Hi Bluesky! We are BWEEMS, Black Women in Ecology, Evolution and Marine Science. A non-profit dedicated to amplifying and supporting Black women in EEMS spaces! It's nice to be here! 🐟 🪴 🐊 www.bweems.org

Introducing our last #BlackInMicro Rising Star of 2024: Savannah Lewis! Savannah is a PhD Candidate at Stanford University’s School of Medicine, where she focuses on how natural killer cells adapt due to endemic malaria exposure, demonstrating their protective role against 1/4

US preterm birth rate was 10.4% in 2023 w significant racial disparities, receiving a D+ from @marchofdimes.bsky.social for the 3rd straight yr. Many challenges are secondary to maternal care deserts which will only worsen as ob/gyns leave states without reproductive freedom.

Vaccination saves lives. Period.

I made a Black women in tech starter pack because I couldn’t find one and it annoyed me. go.bsky.app/5upv7SQ

Hi bluesky! I joined a few months ago but couldn’t figure out how things work 😂…back to try again & it already feels more fun

Getting ready for tomorrow

hi hi it's me Laurel - Have a free printable science zine! WHY WE MASK: IT'S NOT JUST A COLD, aka A Handy Scientific Guide To Surviving COVID-19 Together. Feel free to spread it far - wide hit me up if you're interested in printing &/or distributing free copies :D Links below! #CovidIsntOver

Wearing a damn mask is one of the immediate ways you can help the most marginalized people in your communities survive. Mask at the store, the doctor, school, work, outdoor crowds, everywhere it's not explicitly prohibited. Leverage whatever privilege you have to keep masking.

Hi I am Joel, an Asst. Prof at Penn in the pharmacology department. I study the dialogue between the microbiome and the immune system for the development of precision immunology and microbiome medicine babdorlab.com #Immunology #Microbiome #SystemsBiology

Yesssss

Hi Everyone! I’m an assistant professor at UMich studying the relationship between viruses and cancer 🦠🧫🔬. I’m also a co-founder of #BlackInMicro and remain ever committed to creating inclusive spaces both in my lab and within the greater scientific community ✊🏽 It’s so nice over here 🤗🩵☁️

Since we have had a big boom to bsky let me reintroduce myself. I am Aisha Burton and a new PI at Cornell Micro. Currently on maternity leave but my two research techs are keeping the research going 🙏🏾. My lab is interested in studying small proteins and how they impact stress responses in bacteria

Truly humbled & honored. I am so proud of the work we’re doing through @blackinmicro.bsky.social especially in supporting early career grad students & postdocs. Thank you Microbiology Society for the celebrating the value of this work!

Pittman Teaching lab has a website! I’m excited to use it as a tool for staff, faculty & trainees (👀 our Resources page)…to show 1 example of what “life as a teaching faculty” looks like 🤗…at least for this 1st-gen Black PhD in biomed 🔬 med.unc.edu/biochem/pitt...

The effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine in the prevention of post-COVID conditions: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of the latest research 32 studies with 775,931 individuals evaluated the effect of vaccination on Long-COVID; 3x vaccination offers 69% risk reduction.

"I began to make a point of empowering others rather than judging them, finding mentors and role models to guide me and hold me accountable, refraining from gossip, and building meaningful relations as a foundation of my academic career."

Please take the time to fill this @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social & @medrxivpreprint.bsky.social survey! The data from the last one are still informing how we as a community can unbottleneck science. Data about the behavior & appetite of scientists to accelerate how they share their work is critical!

We serve classrooms with connections to scientists for free. We put science into people's lives with public art & pop-ups. We help scientists connect with their creativity to communicate science. We rely on YOU to do this work. Monthly support keeps us alive ❤️ www.patreon.com/SkypeAScient...

Announcing that our @WUSM_BMB Dept is soliciting applications for our Cori Fellows program. This is an independent fellows program for those wanting to "skip" a postdoc and dive straight into getting their research program launched. Please RT and see: biochem.wustl.edu/resources/po...

Anybody teaching Scientific Writing next semester? It will be here before you know it 😱 If you'd like all the materials from my own writing course, they're available: scientistseessquirrel.wordpress.com/2020/05/26/s...

I know I'm still new to this faculty life, but it still confuses me that I only get this type of information on social media🤔

The entire UNC system will only award Distinguished Professorships to faculty in STEM fields from now on. www.wunc.org/education/20...

Couldn’t be more proud of this team 🥹 it’s been a pleasure planning & celebrating BlackInMicro Week 2023 with you @blackinmicro.bsky.social , especially my social media team @bradyspencer12.bsky.social, Harley Harris, Douglas Johnson, Dominique Jackson, Oluwasegun Isaac Daramola and Sumai Gordon!

Are you a virologist in a low to middle income country, hoping to attend the @amersocvirology.bsky.social ASV2024 meeting in Columbus, Ohio from June 24-28? Apply for an ASV Global Scholar Travel Award here, applications open Nov 1-30: asv.org/asv2024/glob...

Last day on deck, it's been a great week!

Black In Micro ROLL CALLLLLL!

"A hallmark of a good scientist is how they respond to criticism — are they prepared to question their own ideas and findings, or do they become defensive and attack their critics?...being self-critical and taking the criticism of others on board are surely important"

We're ready to begin Day 3 of Black In Microbiology Week. Welcome to Careers Day! Hear a message from Dr. Courtnee' Bell about what we have in store today: youtu.be/9shue9ocbxk... Thanks to KathASK Films for making this video possible

Thank you for supporting us!!

I founded and run a disabled-led transcription and closed captioning business which prioritises working with disabled, chronically ill and neurodivergent freelancers—and we are recruiting! Especially interested in hearing from Black, brown, & PoC, LGBTQIA & otherwise marginalised disabled ppl 👇🏻

Literally any class intended to educate AT ALL about society, history, religion or philosophy, technology, disability, or genuinely literally anything would fall afoul of this rule. Yes it will only be weaponized against those whom Republicans hate, but they're essentially making teaching illegal.

I am enjoying BlackInMicro's STEM education panel! "The cycle continues"...from mentee to mentoring #BlackInMicroWeek 2023 @blackinmicro.bsky.social

Available now: UPDATED flyer showing our full #BlackInMicrobiology Week 2023 schedule! We can't wait to kick things off on Monday and celebrate with you, please see our corrected time for the STEM education panel. Register or Learn more today: blackinmicrobiology....
