I’m grateful to present at #ACSSpring2024 but I can’t share my work w/o recognizing that we are losing our fellow chemistry researchers, profs & students from the ongoing genocide in Palestine. I pray for scientists 1 day sharing their work at ACS from a safe & healed Palestine.

It's crazy that students, staff & (mostly humanities) profs r getting arrested & STEM profs be like: "let me share my new paper, award, etc" Your colleagues r being harassed by cops in a historical Palestinian human rights movement; can you stop being self absorbed for a moment?

I hope one day, professors learn that a student’s value, a *person’s* value, is NOT in their research projects, papers, &/or grants. Even in announcing that a student passed away.💔 They are a human before anything else. And the human spirit is far too big & luminous for that.

For those of you tweeting #ShutDownSTEM , please be aware that there are a number of trolls harassing scientists, especially Black scientists. If you need someone to report tweets, DM me. 🙏🏽 #Allyship #BlackInSTEM

I’m at a graduation where a Mexican man talked about male privilege&spoke part in Spanish, a Muslim Malaysian student gave an Islamic greeting&recited a poem in Malay,&a prof who received a reward and called out that a WOC hasn’t received this award yet. This is the future.

"[...]bullying is a means for mediocre scientists to rise to the top. Some star academics reached their position because they are bullies, not in spite of it." This is an excellent editorial calling a systemic problem out by its name: academic bullying.

Chemistry is amazing. The only difference between the two molecules is the chiral center. #RealTimeChem #Enantiomers

So I am going to see how many weeks I can troll my class with different posters on my door and easter eggs in my room before anyone notices. 🤣🤣🤣 #GotThroughMyFirstVirtualOfficeHour #IWillSurvive #HypeTrain #PressFToPayRespects #TheGOAT

I told a professor I was going home for the end of Ramadan and they asked if I was going to "Saudi Arabia or somewhere out there." I told them I was going to Chicago. Sigh. This was a professor. In 2019. #ImNotEvenArab #DoesBrownMeanImNotAmerican #JustAnotherDayInMyAwkwardLife

I have been a postdoc for 1.5 years & when I started, I was overwhelmed by carbon dot papers. Today I read one & understood 95% of it. I know people like to celebrate big wins but I want to celebrate a little win of coming a long way in my intellectual growth. 💙🙏🏽 #PostdocLife

Graduate School Hot Takes™: I strongly dislike prospective student weekend/season because: (1)# of people act differently to prospectives, giving a false sense of what the community is like (2)# of professors act differently (typically nicer) to try to recruit students 1/n
