University System of Georgia bars diversity statements in hiring. The 1-2 page documents had been used by some schools in faculty searches to understand how a job candidate would approach diversity, but some saw them as an ideological test. #gapol ajc.com/education/university…

Out now in @CellCellPress! doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2023.… Historically marginalized student representation drastically drops from undergrad to grad school. Are underrepresented students unqualified? Or are grad school admissions unnecessarily confusing, costly, & gatekeeping? 1/🧵

Electrical signaling in Venus Flytrap shown in real-time⚡️ Touching the trigger hairs of the trap causes an influx of calcium ions (shown on top) that spreads rapidly across the leaf. Two action potentials and the leaves quickly close to trap their prey 🪰

Great talk by @thelma_madzima One point that resonated: so many efforts to recruit diverse trainees (NSF REUs, etc) yet terrible representation at PI level Big names are rarely accountable for experiences of people in their lab. Are we inviting trainees into a burning building?

Yo #botany2023 this fella Isaac Buabeng @kojo_xi deserves high fives when you see him. Completed the first round of 200 DNA extractions for his MS project before we left for Boise. (And he’s also looking for a PhD program for Fall ‘24.)
