as an agender (any of the prnouns idgaf)

I wouldnt say i am a woman, i also wouldnt say i am not.

I am a gen-nigms-enig.... gend!- uh no. uhhhhmmmm.

fuck it, fuvk you im out.

enbies gonna enby.

I've been seeing a disturbing number of "queer safe spaces" describe themselves as things like "femme & them" and even worse "she+," conflating femininity & nonbinaryhood. cease this immediately. say it with me: nonbinary people are NOT women-lite and it is extremely violent and straight up incorrect to imply that all they/thems are fem adjacent. this is erasure and this verbiage does nothing but make gnc and nonbinary spaces unsafe for masc and male nonbinary people. nonbinary, genderqueer and other third gender people can be and are masculine and men, we can be hes as well as shes and theys, stop allowing yourself and your peers to view nonbinary as woman/femme-lite, signed a butch nonbinary person.

Kavya Maran takes Tristan Maran Force VIPRAJ Nigm Nigam to be able to IPL 2025

Delhi Caltuls (DC) all VIPRAJ Nigam had a drug update of local sports against two Indian Gandal. Delhi prices are having a tapped water in the toilet in Indian Premier Premier (IPL) 2025 games. Were asked to cancel, they did not appear in a noise against the rays of sunbed hybaad (SRh), who bowed the lines and lengths to reduce the 29 opposition. With the same group under pressure, VIPRAJ Nigam,…

Dr. Geraldine Pittman Woods (January 29, 1921 – December 27, 1999) was a science administrator. She is known for her lifelong dedication to community service and for establishing programs that promote minorities in STEM fields, scientific research, and basic research. She was the 13th National President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.

She was born in West Palm Beach to Susie and Oscar Pittman. She graduated from high school attended Talladega College and transferred to Howard University. She excelled in biology and other science classes. She attended a Radcliffe College and Harvard University partnership program to earn an MS and a Ph.D. in neuro-embryology. She was elected into Phi Beta Kappa.

She has earned numerous awards for her dedication to community service and minority rights, including the Mary Church Terrell Award of Delta Sigma Theta and the Scroll of Merit of the National Medical Association, the Howard University Achievement Award, and a Distinguished Leadership Achievement Award from the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education.

The sixth annual NIGMS Minority Biomedical Support symposium held at the Atlanta University Center was dedicated to her. The Federal City Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. recognized her contributions to the sorority by establishing the Geraldine P. Woods Sciences Award. At the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students, NIGMS unveiled the Geraldine Woods Award because of her pivotal role in the development of the MBRS and MARC.

A fellowship in biology at Howard University and one in chemistry at Atlanta University have both been established in her name. She has earned honorary degrees at Benedict College, Talladega College, Fisk University, Bennett College, Meharry Medical College, and Howard University.

She married Robert Woods, a dentistry student at Meharry Medical College. After he graduated from dentistry school they moved to Los Angeles where she put her career on hold to raise their three children. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #phibetakappa #deltasigmatheta

Updates from the essay writer at bluesky:

Keep up the fight!

Really good essay by an insider at the NIH about a Republican plan to permanently hamstring biomedical research in the US.

NIH grants generate, on average, $2 in the local economy for every $1 spent by the government. On the chopping block are women's health research, cancer research, minority health research and research grants to Ivy League schools.

If you have some time, read the essay, it's very clear and has some actions you can take including contacting reps and making short video for social media.

Once those labs are closed and the scientists are gone, they won't be coming back.

Mouse retina by NIH Image Gallery Via Flickr: What looks like the gossamer wings of a butterfly is actually the retina of a mouse, delicately snipped to lay flat and sparkling with fluorescent molecules. The image is from a research project investigating the promise of gene therapy for glaucoma. It was created at an NIGMS-funded advanced microscopy facility that develops technology for imaging across many scales, from whole organisms to cells to individual molecules. The ability to obtain high-resolution imaging of tissue as large as whole mouse retinas was made possible by a technique called large-scale mosaic confocal microscopy, which was pioneered by the NIGMS-funded National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research. The technique is similar to Google Earth in that it computationally stitches together many small, high-resolution images.

You may not be familiar with the #SDSU #NIH #NIGMS #MARC Scholars program but I am extremely proud of the work we do. Not only do I get to work with some really amazing colleagues and students (Dr. Cathie Atkins has successfully lead this program since day one) but I get to be part of this wonderful #STEM community at #SDSU and be a resource to students who will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you NIH/NIGMS! Thank you SDSU! Thank you Cathie Atkins and Stanley Maloy!

“Biologists view themselves as fortunate compared to a field like physics, where you can't do an experiment without a huge team of people and very expensive equipment. There was concern that biology would become like physics, dependent on these large accelerators and other kinds of gizmos and huge teams of people working together in order to get anything done. In some ways they were right. There still is lots of work for individual investigators coming up with their own ideas to pursue, but certainly many of the questions at the forefront now require multidisciplinary teams of people and significant equipment in order to do research.”  Dr. Elke Jordan, 2002

Jordan came to NIH in 1972, working at NCI and NIGMS.  In 1988, she became director of the Office of Human Genome Research, responsible for laying the foundation for the infrastructure of the Human Genome Project at NIH. In her oral history, she discusses James Watson, Genbank, patents, ethics, media hype, and much more.  Read it at

Without ‘work-life balance,’ this protein may promote disease

Newswise — COLUMBUS, Ohio – A family of proteins that have a role in ensuring many types of cells move and maintain their shape may promote disease when they act like workaholics and disrupt the cellular environment, new research suggests. The study increases scientific understanding of plastins, whose job is to bind to and bundle other proteins that can be thought of as the bones and muscles of…
