I want to reiterate that IMO it is not appropriate to increase stipends selectively for those with scholarships. Scholarship selection is prone to errors (and biases) & the difference between those selected & passed over can be infinitely small. All grad students need more💵

Led by John Herbert, I am part of a group of scientists that is responding to the recent work of Krylov et al. on the subject of academic "free speech." Check our position, and if you agree with it, please RT to amplify #RealTimeChem #inclusion #respect pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Words Matter: On the Debate over Free Speech, Inclusivity, and Academic Excellence

What do we value as an academic and a scientific community? Do our core values include only the pursuit of facts and inventions, to the exclusion of other

The OrgDiv call will go out this week -- but it basically just says to email Jeremy with proposals. So go ahead and do so.

Dec 6 1989: 14 women were murdered – an act of gender-based violence - at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal, in the name of ‘fighting feminism'. We grieve & honour each of these 14 women, acknowledge the ongoing trauma survivors experience, & renew commitments for change

Dear @JustinTrudeau @FP_Champagne I hope you are noticing what is happening south of the border. We can’t expect the USA to do our science for us. Please increase funding for science in a meaningful way. P.S. Not boutique programs (to quote a wise scholar @cdavidnaylor ).

The Senate just voted 68-32 for: 1. Doubling of the NSF budget over 5 years 2. 40% increase in funding for NSF’s core basic and fundamental research activities, from $8.5B $12 billion 3. $29B over five years for a new NSF Directorate for Technology and Innovation

As a B student in undergrad,this really resonates. Not knowing is the point of research- & that's exciting!However, grades are emphasized for admittance to grad school & grants. How does my understanding of hydrogeology indicate my ability to study geologic heat? #AcademicTwitter

Always good to be reminded #AcademicTwitter @AcademicChatter

Check out some of the exciting virtual chemistry events on this week! With virtual symposia, mental health talks, careers discussion and LGBTQ+ celebrations, there should hopefully be something for everyone! (all times are in GMT). Details of events with links are in the thread!
