Well friends, I have a bit of news to share. After a lot of reflection over the last few months, I’ve come to know that I’m a transgender woman. You can call me Emily, and my pronouns are she/her 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

Some personal news. Three days ago, after discussing with my partner, I decided to drastically reduce my drinking bc it was negatively affecting our relationship. I’m now relearning how to spend my evenings wo going to the bar—tv, reading, kitty cuddles. Already feeling better 😊

It’s a testament to the UNC Chemistry program that I’m pretty sure every single chemist on here has a first degree connection to that department. And we’re all hurting today.

Who is the most influential living chemist in terms of sway on policy (whether public policy or scientific culture)?
I'm thinking of a chemist who could speak out and say "the government should do this" or "the ACS/RSC/NSF should do this" and get people moving in that direction.

Two years ago today, I came out as bisexual, which started the boulder of self-discovery rolling downhill. Six days later, I came out as trans and began my current path of self-actualization. It has been a wonderful two years!

I’m guessing many of y’all in STEM don’t realize anxiety, depression, and ADHD are disabilities
According to a National Science Foundation report, people with disabilities account for only 3% of the STEM workforce despite making up around 27% of the US adult population.

Dear Professors:
If you are called upon to give a reference for one of your former students or advisees, it is never acceptable to respond “they would have flunked out of state school”. Either decline the reference or say something constructive.

The actual cautionary tale is “Instapot was acquired by private equity and destroyed in the process of enriching investors”
The fact that Instant Pot is already being framed as a corporate cautionary tale—the company that went bankrupt bc they made a product so durable & versatile that its customers had little need to buy another one—instead of as a critique of capitalism is deeply, deeply depressing.

For the record, $65k is not enough for a 1 bedroom in Boston/Cambridge/Somerville. So these postdocs either have to be partnered with second income or have roommates
Wow
@MIT
just raised the minimum salary of postdocs to $65k a year. That’s a ~$10k increase from the previous minimum. That’s incredible! This will go a long way towards combating the rising cost of living in the Greater Boston area.

There is no female equivalent to Tate.
There is no female equivalent to incels.
There is no female equivalent to misogyny.
Those who claim otherwise & make false equivalents are attempting to erase power dynamics. They are attempting to normalize the violent bigotry behind all.
