So happy that my story got covered. The importance of being who you are, having supportive figures in your #PhD and following your passion cannot be understated. Being a minority in #STEM is an asset as you bring a unique line of thinking #TransInSTEM #LGBTinSTEM @AcademicChatter
Read @WrightohAlison remarkable PhD journey through neuroscience and living her truth as a transgender woman in the @GRIDD_GU lab, supported by her supervisor @JennyAKEkberg and colleagues: ow.ly/PNZe50yhMp1 #BeRemarkable #TransInSTEM

Students beware, it’s not going to be as useful as you think it is.

Our latest work on #bioRxiv answers a simple question: can you see cellular substructures and ultrastructure without fluorescence, or even a 🔬? - Yes, you can! With #UnclearingMicroscopy! @OnsMSaad1 @mshribak @YaleCellBio

Another year of sip week. I'm raising money for spinal cord injury research @PerryXFndn by sipping every drink through a straw.

Labor's budget included $254 billion in tax cuts for the rich - but didn't raise JobSeeker above the poverty line.
Poverty is forcing people to go without food. It's making people homeless. It's ruining lives.
We live in a wealthy country. This shouldn't be happening.
Every time I get off the 116 I'm met by the name sake for our research institute @ClemJonesNeuro

Wow! A talk from Carolyn Mountford (@GlycoGriffith) is 100x more effective at increasing productivity than a coffee ☕️ Absolutely fascinating research outcomes from many talented researchers. Thanks @GRIDD_GU for making this talk happen.
Great way to start a presentation from Professor Carolyn Mountford today for the GRIDD seminar series.

Seeing a lot about the Uluru statement lately - I can't believe that aboriginal and Torres strait Islanders don't have a constitutional voice in a country they've been a part of for thousands of years.

Another one for the weekend. This is what the world without #SpinalCordInjury would look like according to Andy Warhol.

Instead of a paint medium this time, its style of Beeple's everydays although Stable diffusion is really showing its limitations here. This is what the world without #SpinalCordInjury would look like according to @beeple.

My housemate and I write Haikus to one another as a way to recap our days or capture some choice experiences. It's really a great way to chronicle. So I decided to make a website to use as our daily dump for Haikus going forward.

And here's the world without spinal cord injury according to Van Gogh. I really like this one.

Today I got to talk to @HuggetOut who I've followed for years. Reaching out and hearing people's stories and gleaning advice from their experiences is the best things about the internet. Connecting with people my 16 year old self never would have thought possible.
I find this easy in academia but I think this also extends to other industries. People are excited to share their passions and can be pretty open. If you havent tried messaging people you've met online then maybe you should. Be direct and have a goal in mind for the conversation.
