BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade.
Texas will ban abortion from the moment of conception, with narrow exceptions to save the life of the mother, goes into effect 30 days after the ruling.

Must’ve missed the part where ‘mentorship’ in academia includes the freedom to leave for a new position without so much as a courtesy warning to mentees (w/ zero repercussions for interrupting mentees’ lives/training). The number of friends I’ve seen this happen to is appalling.
Absolutely honored to have been selected for this award at my first big girl conference in grad school! Excited to do it again in 2024 ☺️
Congrats also to our Blitz Talk Winners! @caovv55, @AnastasiaIS_, Sam Perlstein, & I-Tzu Hung!! 🥳 #SSSP2022 @SSSpsychopathy
