In the 2010s, the internet grew up — and we grew up with it. Medium launched in 2012 and @HumanParts was founded one year later, so, to mark the end of this decade in tabs, they're taking you back into the archives. read.medium.com/ylxH74u
This is The Internet Time Machine, (almost) ten years of writing on our corner of the Internet. For years, people have been writing moving essays, poems, comics, and stories about being a human online. read.medium.com/ylxH74u
Like the internet itself, this collection of stories is somewhat random, nostalgia-inducing, and a little rough around the edges. Open up a new tab (or 30) and take the @humanparts time machine for a spin. read.medium.com/ylxH74u

1/ Artificial intelligence is changing everything from how we are selected for jobs to whether or not we are given bank loans.

It’s exciting—and worrisome. That’s because the people building A.I. systems don’t reflect the diversity of the people they will likely represent
2/ Take Google, for instance. The company lists 893 people working on machine learning.

Only one is a black woman. read.medium.com/hDKr9MN
3/ Facebook lists 146 people on its A.I. Research Team.

Not one is black.

1/ This is the story of the monumental legal effort underway to hold pharmaceutical companies—and drug distributors—responsible for the opioid epidemic. read.medium.com/uAS823R
2/ By the numbers, the opioid crisis is staggering. In 2012, health care providers wrote enough painkiller prescriptions for every American adult to have a bottle of pills. cdc.gov/vitalsigns/pdf…
3/ In 2017 alone, the CDC reported 72,000 overdose deaths due to the epidemic. That’s over four times the number of overdose deaths reported in 1999. cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr…

THREAD.

I was asked today to share my thoughts on the potential effect of what appears to be a mass exodus of talented #women from the #corporate world.

I thought perhaps it was a good time for a history lesson.

(1/7)
We don't have to wonder about the potential, we've already seen it. The last US recession impacted a lot of people (maybe except the bankers who caused it), but it hit women of color hardest. #truth #WOC

(2/7)
It represented one of the greatest losses of wealth in recent history and the demographic that was hit hardest is now the single most entrepreneurial group in the nation, women of color. Coincidence? Nope.

Trump’s WORLDWIDE Effect on the Global Reproductive Rights of Women

Trump and his conservative Christian-centric administration are using positions of authority to impose religious policies on long-established reproductive rights that put women around the world at risk.
Background

Ronald Reagan signed the Mexico City Policy in 1984. This sweeping mandate against reproductive freedom around the globe denied,

“US federal funds to any organisation involved in providing abortion services overseas or counselling women about them.”
Though revoked by every Democrat and reinstated by every Republican
since, Trump has taken up the cause with renewed vigor.

Every time the global gag has been reimposed by a Republican president, rates of back street and self-administered abortions have increased.

08/03 is the International Day of Women's Rights.
Some #fiercewomen did not have the rights we have today, but they went ahead & challenged the society by doing #science!

Hypathia was a philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician, who lived in the 4th century BC in Alexandria. The first documented woman mathematician, she may have been the first "witch" to have been executed because of her intellectual endeavor. #WomenInSTEM bbvaopenmind.com/en/science/mat…
Maria Gaetana Agnesi was a mathematician, philosopher, theologian, and humanitarian, who lived in Milan in the 18th century.

After a jam-packed 2 days at #SciOut18🌪(thx @ASBMB & @rockedu_!) it was time to reflect! 🤔 Reflection is so important, but it can be hard to find ⏰ to really just think! 💭 Some of my thoughts 👉 instagram.com/p/BokNO_NhihF/

What’s inside? 🧐 It’s FORMAMIDE! 🤗 Formally removing RNA’s form with formamide! 🤓 FORMAMIDE in loading buffer breaks up & replaces the bonds between bases holding RNA's shape together 👇

First, not to be pedantic or nuthin but I can't remember the last time I came across anybody "anti-science" if that is to mean "against the scientific method". Anti-GMO cites studies all.the.time. They LOVE #science! All day all night.

If we are trying to be precise we should in the very least perhaps call it pseudoscience. Is THAT helpful? Depends on context and what you’re trying to accomplish. Sometimes I WANT to polarize the conversation, other times I’m looking to win somebody over. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
