Providing demographic data for NSF: Actually, I do wish to provide my gender, but your survey does not include nonbinary scientists. You are not accurately assessing diversity when you erase queer and transgender scientists. @ISNBS_ #QueerinSTEM

Happy Juneteenth! Today we celebrate the end of slavery in the US. Today we reflect on the progress we've made as a nation, but recognize that there is still work to be done towards true equality and justice for all. Let's continue to educate ourselves and advocate for change!

Florida, the third most populous state in the nation, plans to expand the unpopular and discriminatory "Don't say gay" to all k-12 grades.
Effectively, all forms of sexual education will be banned in Florida for all public school students.
Of note: The US Southeast has the highest rates of teen pregnancy, Florida has the 4th highest rate of HIV/AIDS in the country, 8th highest syphilis rate in the country, and one of the highest hate-crime rates against LGBTQ+ persons in the country. Florida was also the target of the worst domestic terrorist incident against LGBTQ+ Americans (Pulse)

Please may we have someone actually qualified and actually invested in our college on the board? Bonus points if they’re not misogynist.

🧵VOTE NO ON RUFO🧵Chris Rufo doesn't have the character or credentials to serve on New College of Florida's BoT. He's using his appointment to enrich himself and gain media notoriety by defaming the college and belittling the students and faculty. bit.ly/3LMvF6z

#WomenInScience Twitter: Compiling a list of #policy recs to improve women's career development in #oceanscience. Short list = more mentorship opps. (esp. 4 URMs), paid parental leave, more postdoc & mid-career resources, what else?
Also, is there an LGBTQ marine science group?
