Hi folks! We're now set up here on Mastodon. You can learn more about what we do at https://lgbtqstem.com/ #QueerInSTEM #TransInSTEM #BiInSci #LGBTQ #STEM

Happy Pride, universe! Especially to — & throughout — the science, nature, conservation, & STEM worlds broadly, & all colleagues, friends, & loved ones within them.
Great #queerinSTEM resources include 500 Queer Scientists (500queerscientists.com), oSTEM (ostem.org), Pride in STEM (prideinstem.org), Out to Innovate (noglstp.org/outtoinnovate), &
LGBTQ+ STEM (lgbtstem.wordpress.com/). / 📷 by Tim Wong

A personal quest since gaining some mote of safety as a #QueerInSTEM person has been to help marginalized people in tech get hired into safer communities and jurisdictions.

As part of this, I've occasionally had the chance to help workshop resumes for international refugees via resettlement volunteer connections.

If I wanted to do this for #LGBTQ folks within the US online from a safer state, where would I get involved? Boost plz?

"AMIGAs is a week-long summer program for incoming second or third year graduate students, designed to support and train a new generation of mathematical scientists in applied and computational mathematics, with a special emphasis on increasing the number of women, particularly those from historically excluded racial groups, in both academia and industry."

David Gaider: “There’s a tendency for every character’s default to be straight, white, and male in our industry – and nobody questions that default. No character ever has to justify why they’re straight, white, and male.

The moment you make them anything else, you suddenly need reasons why that’s okay…

or do you?

A certain amount of deliberateness is required to challenge the idea of a default, and while it feels a bit unnatural to do so, it’s absolutely necessary. It’s a way to create without unthinkingly doing things the same way simply because that’s how you’ve always done them.”

Looking into options for cross posting from the bird site to here for #CallTheMidwife live tooting has got me trying to dig out the cables for my raspberry pi (I know, I saw what went down on here, I'm sorry), I truly am a #QueerInSTEM 🙃 (I am not having much fun with it but I really want to make this happen)

So Twitter is a mess, and we’re setting up shop over here on Mastodon. Are you an #LGBTQIA+ person working or studying in #STEM? We’d LOVE to connect with you and hear about what you do! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #LGBTQSTEM #PrideInSTEM #QueerInSTEM #TransInSTEM #BiInSci #AceInSTEM

Ok these turned out pretty great y’all.
Gold plated 925 silver #JWST pendants with cubic zirconia at the center. 14kt gold filled posts. In between, carnelian, honey jade, fancy jasper, dumortierite, and amethyst beads make a #pride #rainbow. Just a little queer rebellion for #astronomers.

Please cont to check in on your #2SLGBTQIA+ loved ones. Many of us are not ok. I’m afraid to be openly queer RN, much less a #queer person fighting 4 queer & #trans educational liberation, especially in an area folx falsely believe neutral.

Its been about a month since Ive been underground, and I miss it. Ligament damage in my foot during SAR is a bummer. Finally getting back on my feet enough to handle twisty terrain. #cave #cavebio #cavebiolab #speleology #biology #speleobiology #womeninstem #queerinstem

LGBTQ+ chemists react to Carolyn Bertozzi’s Nobel win

Throughout her career, Bertozzi has been a champion and role model for queer chemists

#Introduction
I am Alice (ah-lee-che) and I am fascinated by #DevBio #regeneration and tissue #plasticity of complex sensory organs.
As a postdoc at the Stowers Institute, I established a new system (an apple snail) to study - for the first time - the complete regeneration of camera-type eyes. I also developed tools to turn this snail into a genetically tractable organism.
I always enjoy a coffee discussing about #science, #mentorship and #DEI.

#introduction

I'm #QueerInSTEM.

I like #books especially #HardSciFi and I'm always looking for good recommendations.

I love #knitting.

I love my kids and my partner and my #cats. Here's a picture of one of my cats.

It's #LGBTQSTEMday, and there's a bunch of new or new-to-Mastodon faces in my feed, so:

I'm Jeremy Yoder! I'm a #gay evolutionary biologist studying #coevolution, especially in #mutualism. I also helped launch the #QueerInSTEM project, which surveyed #LGBTQ scientists to understand our career experiences.

Our most recent paper found that #queer scientists who don't feel safe to disclose their identities at work publish fewer papers—a concrete cost of the closet

Happy #LGBTSTEMDay! Our artist @mpk_draws@twitter.com (she/they) was inspired to promote queer representation by illustrating some contemporary queer STEM researchers – keep reading to find out a little about each person pictured! 🏳️‍🌈🧵
