Rebekah is a fantastic person and scientist- don’t miss these opportunities!

#1 I write in support of the trans community School of Biological Sciences . Know there are a lot of people that are supportive and not ok with the transphobic views that are circulating. We should all speak up - yes, we should all speak up that transphobia is not acceptable…

Here is a shameless plug for my first postdoc paper, a big collaboration with lots of cool people at UCSC, particularly co-first author Chloe Orland.

Read it to learn about abalone, population bottlenecks, IBD (or lack thereof), and chrom. inversions!

Stop blaming academic mothers. Like hiring a cleaner and a cook is going to solve the issue? Seriously? 1) Postdocs can't afford this, 2) lack of universal childcare, and 3) we ask people to move to places without family support. These are systemic problems Academic Mom, PhD
