.@RepNancyMace as .@hakeemjeffries said regarding the new administration picks. Are these the best picks in America for the job? The same applies here. Bigotry doesn’t belong in the house. #Americadeserves better .@AOC

Today not only did I vote for access to health care, for reproductive freedom, for equal rights, for safe schools, and for a fair economy, but also for SANITY and HUMAN DECENCY. Please remember that whoever you are and wherever you live, your voice matters. Your VOTE matters. I know we don't agree on everything, and that is the beauty of this country, but GOOD LORD aren't you tired of this negativity towards each other? The intimidation and constant threats to those who do not think the same as the other? Let's please end this era of fear, chaos and the attacks on our democracy - and vote for someone who will unite us and not continue to threaten to divide us I very proudly voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. We are so lucky we get to VOTE and this election is in our hands! We only have one week until Election Day so talk to your friends, your family, your neighbors and let's find our way back to each other with respect, common cause, and Love💙🇺🇸

I miss Ben! I think about his commentary on women in science a lot. That commentary inspired me to take actions on promoting women in science 14 years ago
Happy Birthday Ben! Today would’ve been his 70th birthday. A renowned scientist who changed the way we see glia cells and the brain and a wonderful friend and advocate, Ben was an inspiration to us all.  #neuroscience #glia #advocateforwomeninStem #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Always so proud to be a part of Ben’s scientific family tree 🤍 I wish I could have spoken with him more than a couple times, but I know that so much of the way Ben approached science was passed down to me from my PhD mentor, and I’m so grateful for that!

I don’t know if you are familiar w/Dr. Ben Barres, a Stanford scientist lost much too soon, but Dr. Barres was a champion of many a human/civil rights endeavor, and from what I’ve heard a kind and brilliant mentor. This is a story that needs telling and money is being raised.

Did you know we are making a film about #BenBarrea
As part of #PrideMonth2024, we hosted a book club and read “The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist” by Dr. Ben Barres. Dr. Barres’s legacy is two-fold: making breakthrough discoveries for neuroscience by elucidating the role of glial cells and his groundbreaking advocacy for gender equality in science. This book resonates with us deeply. At Alltrna, we believe in the power of bringing your whole-self to work. Because only when we can be authentic to ourselves can we unleash the full power of who we are and what we can do. We also had a celebratory brunch and raised money for @BAGLY, Inc., a social support organization committed to creating, sustaining, and advocating for programs, policies, and services for the GLBT youth community in Boston. Thanks to the team for a great #PrideMonth! #WeAreAlltrna

Ben Barres was an NAM and #NASMember, and the first openly transgender member of both. His work to identify the cellular causes of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s diseases revolutionized the field of neurobiology. #PrideMonth

Meet Dr. Ben Barres, a neurobiologist who pioneered the role of glial cells in development and disease. On top of his research, Barres was a strong advocate for trans and women’s rights, helping to point out injustices in academia. #LGBTQScientists #PrideMonth #ScienceforAll
