I bought my son a chemistry kit because he says he wants to be a scientist like me. 🥹 When he saw it, he said he needs a lab coat and goggles before he could use it. $30 + an Amazon Prime order later and… welcome Dez, Kindergarten chemist 🥰 #BlackInChemRollCall #BlackInChem

Proud to be recognized for earning over 1M in grants. And happy these scholars have joined me over the years!
My mantra these days is “I’m not for everyone”. Letting the people pleaser in me die has been challenging yet rewarding. Once I stopped caring how people feel about me, I experienced a freedom like never before.

The fact that the spam “investing in crypto” comment keeps popping up in this show 😂 I love that @KevOnStream is trolling the trolls #churchykoss
Rodney is hilarious 😂😂 “THAT’S ALL. THAT’S IT” #churchykoss @KevOnStream

This man called picking up poop “God’s work”. THAT is one job I will not be doing for God. That’s where I draw the line. There… I said it. #churchykoss @KevOnStream

FRANCIIIIIIINE!!! 😂😂😂 that’s it. That’s the tweet. #churchykoss @KevOnStream
“She got her titties out” words I didn’t expect to be in #churchykoss 🤣🤣🤣 the way I cackled at this scene @KevOnStream
Between all the funny, Corey actually gave some good advice in his meetings! #churchykoss @KevOnStream
Corey really replaced the name tag before Pastor Steady even got out the room good 😂😂😂 #churchykoss
Today, Dez did his first chemistry experiment, “Mixing Colors”! We’re excited to do more soon! This @ThamesKosmosUK Chemistry set is pretty neat! They even teach kids about the periodic table! I can’t wait to teach him some real chemistry!

- it’s really them thinking I was ever paying back them loans in the first place.
Tomorrow is the first day of Kindergarten for Dez! 🥰 It was only appropriate that he read “The Pigeon Has to Go to School” by Mo Willems! @The_Pigeon
This “Grad School 101” room has been awesome! There was no forum like this available when I started grad school 13 years ago (WOW I feel old now)

Marcus Arbery, father of #AhmaudArbery, after his son's killers claimed that they feel unsafe in state prison:
"We don't want no mercy."
"They didn't even give him a chance to finish his run... and you're asking for the court to send you somewhere where you can be laid back?"

Hi! 👋🏾 I’m Dr. Alicia Cheek. I earned my PhD in Biochem from UMCP in 2015. I ❤️LOVE❤️ my job as a deviation writer/investigator 🕵🏾♀️ for a large biopharma company. I sniff out BS for a living 😂 in the name of science! #BlackInBiochem #BlackInChemRollCall #BlackChemistsWeek2022
You people who can catch an avocado when it’s at peak ripeness & then remember to make avocado toast with it, you’re the winners in my book.

As a PhD biochemist working in biopharma, I’m really loving the #ThisIsHowIScience video series by Thermo Fisher Scientific! thermofisher.com/beinspired?… #DiversityAndInclusion are vital in STEM! I’m glad Thermo Fisher is highlighting POC in STEM for this! @thermofisher #DEI #Ad
