I had a lot of fun chatting with my friend @aquaticAshley on the @oceanbites podcast about everything from deepsea gigantism, imposter syndrome, breaking the mold of what we consider a “normal” scientist to be, and accessibility in science 🔬

On the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre, we remember all those who were killed and the survivors who bravely continue to share their stories so that we never forget this painful part of our history. Take a moment to learn about what happened: washingtonpost.com/history/intera…

As we collectively grieve and respond to the violent attack on our community, we must center the needs of those most directly impacted. We're calling on you, our allies in #Georgia and across the country, to join us by providing support for our communities. #StopAsianHate

On a day for the history books, @TheAmandaGorman delivered a poem that more than met the moment. Young people like her are proof that "there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it; if only we're brave enough to be it."
