Last year, @E_Stivison wrote about LGBTQ+ scientists in history, including Sally Ride (@SallyRideSci), Ben Barres and Mark Harrington (@TAGTeam_Tweets): asbmb.org/asbmb-today/pe…. #LGBTQinSTEM #Pride2022 #LGBTQinBMB
.@EctopicEyeQueer wrote about how instructors can support LGBTQ+ scientists in the classroom by inviting them to share their names & pronouns privately on the first day of class, rather than reading from the registrar’s class roster. asbmb.org/asbmb-today/op… #LGBTQinBMB
In their award-winning essay, "What I wish people understood about being a trans scientist," @TLJordanScience writes: "I am proud to be a trans nonbinary scientist. Despite the difficulty and isolation, I will continue to be myself in every way." asbmb.org/asbmb-today/op…
In this article for @massivesci, @lizardwithaz writes: "Queerness & science are inextricable. Science is inherently influenced by the people who conduct it, & regardless of how objective scientists think they are, unconscious biases are at play." asbmb.org/asbmb-today/op…
In his essay, first published in @massivesci, @AndrewScarpelli wrote about how seeing a successful scientist in his field who is open about their sexuality made it clearer to him that he too could attain success & inspire other LGBT+ individuals in STEM. asbmb.org/asbmb-today/op…
In this 2020 article by Brian Charles Clark, originally published by WSU Insider (@WSUPullman), cell biologist Beverley Rabbitts shared insights on life, love, sexuality and reinvention. "You’re allowed to change!" she said in the piece. asbmb.org/asbmb-today/pe…
