Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Anyone know if any good apps for estimating surface area? (Or maybe manual/imageJ are the best alternatives?)
We're measuring surface area of bird wings tomorrow with grid paper but I'm hoping to improve the class in the future!

👋🏽 it's Latino Heritage Month,

For me, I don't think the idea really settled until I was about 14 in 10th grade.

Do you expect minorities to reframe their struggles as strengths to give the impression of resilience or adaptability? That is bias.
We are inherently resilient and adaptable, we did not struggle out of choice and we did not live through our struggles to impress anyone.

I feel silly writing the tired lines "i am low income" "i am a minority" "i am first gen". It's like that is all we are to academics and if we do not make those facts perfectly explicit, we will be deemed as lesser than.

We should stop using metrics based solely on publications in English to evaluate the performance of researchers. Instead we should focus on *what* is published, not just *where*, as advocated by DORA: sfdora.org

For those interested to see the productivity gap for men, here are the figures using the same # years in research as female counterparts. Based on English papers:
-50% for English non-native
-58% for English non-native from low-income countries
compared to English native from a high-income country.

Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7
