Hey #ScienceTwitter,

I'm using inclusive language when teaching the reproductive systems, eg: pregnant person.

I tripped up today talking about fetal circulation. What's a better term than maternal circulation? Parental implies either parent. I want something more specific
Oh, this blew up in the wrong way. So let's clarify for the haters.

Women are people.

Not all women can get pregnant

Some girls can get pregnant and are not women.

Some trans men can get pregnant and are not women.

Inclusive language is more precise and respectful.
Muting this now.

I want to share an experience this year from my #NoDeadlines class set-up, an example of a student who succeeded because they were able to manage their own deadlines. 🧵1/
#AcademicChatter
This student started the semester behind schedule. She was taking 5 classes, plus raising toddlers, plus pregnant. (Details shared with her permission.) She reached out to me and to the dean.

I really didn't think she would make it. 2/
#NoDeadlines #AcademicChatter
In my classes there is never a penalty for turning in work late. I focus on learning, not when the learning happens. Deadlines are "best by" dates.

When I started this policy, I worried students would flake and put everything off to the end. 3/

There are so many red flags in this piece I want to scream.

Time for a thread.

The ecologist who wants to map everything nature.com/articles/d4158…
Let's start with the subject, a 33-year-old boy wonder who is funded by a rich family

Sounds like they have good intentions, but let's remember that Google started with the motto "don't be evil."
Boy Wonder disdains the descriptive science that makes his razzle-dazzle computer wizardry possible. Natural history is the basis for experimental and statistical science, but to him it's nothing.
