It's one of the prominent reasons I've gone into using FOSS software wherever I can and trying to support developers so that they can continue to build software for everyone instead of proprietary systems
and when you follow the breadcrumbs 10 papers back to something in the 1950s that Elsevier is holding for a ransom of 50 dollars for 24 hour access.

I am #Crowdfunding right now to support myself. I lost all of my food (and potentially medications) from #HurricaneBeryl and it’s a huge cost to me.
Any support is greatly appreciated. #MutualAidBoost
Support the #DisabledInSTEM community and show your #DisabilityPrideMonth

All praise to Prof. @DrSamiSchalk, who protected her students w her body. They ripped off her dress and hurt her so badly that she is now at the hospital. Dr. Schalk literally wrote the book on Black Disability Politics. Talk about putting your body on the line for your politics!

Happy to discuss human genome data access and sharing at the World Health Organization. A dream come true. – at Geneva, Switzerland

I’m so fucking sick of biologists treating societal engagement as a scientific weakness.

something I’ve been hesitant to say as a Black Jew who is pro-Palestine, is that I have, on numerous occasions, been subject to racist remarks made by white American Jews. At my uncle’s bar mitzva they asked what the “monkey” was doing there…

It is SO weird to me to see ObGyn residency programs not match a SINGLE Black resident, especially when they serve Black patients… we know race concordant care improves outcomes, so what’s the problem?
ACOG/APGO/CREOG needs to weigh in on this. Real soon.

When scientists set boundaries, it not only improves their own personal well-being, but also creates norms that limits are acceptable and healthy

“This is just our experiment. We don’t mean to do anything by showing it to the world.”
Always the weakest excuses. Very glad that the studio ghibli head specifically referred to how this looks, and how it makes him feel, when one considers that not all bodies work the same.

This is truly the pinnacle of "When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression" 🤡
A better route might be implementing lab procedures such that safety can be enforced no matter whether a person can hear or not. Otherwise, it puts neurodivergent and/or deaf grad students and postdocs at a disadvantage, making your lab more inaccessible and discriminatory.
