Excited for the next talk, "A Feminist Agenda for Science Communication: Necessary and Timely" here the @aaas #AAAS2019 Annual Meeting! 
"[Science communication] has become a field for women which means that it is looked at subordinate to science in the same way that education, which is also primarily female, is seen as subordinate to gaining knowledge [research]."
“We are seeing that in current times, with current political leaders, facts are not just facts, the possibility for evidenced based policy is not actually based on evidence. We are struggling how to deal with this as scientists.”
"Diversity in scientific teams will identify oppressive practices and begin to unravel them. Regardless of empathy we are blind to problems that are not like ours, Do not fill a diversity quota set by NSF ‘just because’."
"In the past decade we saw a rush to forensic science due to the strong female characters in shows like Bones, CSI, that young girls can identify with." I cannot drive home enough the point of how important #representation is. Thank you @KathyReichs I appreciate you 👩🔬🧠
