This is from the notice about our ADVANCE Journal grant’s termination alongside OSU's PNW LSAMP one. These programs have supported the advancement of women, BIPOC, and 2SLGBTQIA+ folks in STEM fields for decades. The destruction of these programs to support marginalized people is despicable. 💔

Such a pleasure and privilege to attend the PNW LSAMP 2025 conference and be with so many endlessly inspiring people including @deepseadawn.bsky.social @feministgadfly.bsky.social and Finn Johnson. Proud to represent the @advancejournal.bsky.social during these times.

So good for the soul to take to the streets with droves of like-minded people in Portland, Oregon. #handsoff #pdx

My daughter’s art project:

I am collecting stories of how people have been impacted by initiatives to promote diversity in STEM and/or health-related fields. This project is an attempt to collect important data about the impact on scholars at a critical moment.
