Hello #NativesBlueSky… my students are asking for a list of your favorite Indigenous STEM books… so I’m trying to crowd source to add to my own list. I am not sure how many are out here, but I thought I’d ask! I’ll compile the list and share when done!

Wrapping up my time at the Full Circle of Native and Indigenous Scientists in Biology Symposium and I want to reflect on some thoughts mentioned today qbi.ucsf.edu/full-circle-... 1/5

The rhetorical victory is this: the proposal that we can and will outlast them.

Just a little over a week out! The symposium is coming together wonderfully. Please join us either in person at UCSF or virtually in a webinar! Register here :) qbi.ucsf.edu/full-circle-...

The MacInFac was such a core part of my experience at UNC - it's a great role for anyone passionate about biochem and biophysical techniques.

One thing I really miss while being on an only undergrad campus is attending PhD thesis defenses. It's great science but also the deep respect shown for other scientists and the absolute joy is unmatched.

NIH cuts are hitting young scientists the hardest. By David Baker. timmermanreport.com/2025/03/davi...

Sharing this article about @edyong209.bsky.social in the NY Times "Ed Yong Wants to Show You the Hidden Reality of the World" Ed Yong in my opinion is the best science journalist of our times - and there are many great ones www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...

Caring about or working in science right now is all about answering questions: can we keep going? How do we keep going? Sometimes our answers need to take the form of speeches. Instead of certainty and details, we are being asked for direction. For comfort. For courage. For hope.

4/n But what I told my departmental colleagues today was that I will not agree to do anything that will help re-segregate research or education at this university. Or that is inconsistent with the stated values and mission of this U. And I won’t quit either; they’ll have to fire me.

Maybe you’re not going to lead. That’s okay! Instead of trying to generate strategy from scratch, listen to what you’re being asked for. Maybe it’s your professional society, affinity groups on campus, local unions, etc. Getting behind people you trust is essential & strategic.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

We are now accepting applications for speakers from Native American trainees - if you know of someone who would be a good fit, encourage them to apply! More info in the original thread Apply to be speaker at Full Circle here: forms.gle/dMUtGWvigrNA... PS: We have travel funds available! Plz share!

AWESOME piece by my former student and co-director of BLEEDVAX @resourcefulsqrl.bsky.social on feminist science, menstruation, and the covid vaccine:

Thrilled to be presenting this year after watching virtually for the past two years!

#IndigenousPeoplesDay is Monday. My challenge to non-Natives: dig into the history of the people who were displaced from your land, learn about the history of how they were displaced, find out where they are now, and support them financially or by protesting with them. Go beyond platitudes.

Today I returned to my 2020 lab notebook. It is fun how my notes just stop because I went on three faculty interviews and then the pandemic shutdown happened. But the good news is, I just solved the experimental problem I was working on in Feb 2020.
