It was amazing having a fellow alumni Dr. Fauci and his wife Dr. Grady stop by the lab to talk wine chemistry and hear about the work my students are doing. Thank you for being on campus and sharing yourself with our entire community

Diversity is our greatest asset, even if the government disagrees… They not like us! POC in STEM are here to stay.

They tried to rig the game but you can’t fake influence!

Just got word that our Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Inclusive Excellence 3 (IE3) Grant was being canceled. All 100+ institutions. So even private funding is susceptible to this administration’s unraveling of DEI initiatives

TikTok is getting banned….. where will I post my videos??! I love Bluesky but it’s not for video content. I use instagram but I’m not happy about Zuckerberg helping to take down TikTok so he can benefit.
