I'm happy that the paper about my class on Historically Excluded and Underrepresented Scientists is now published. When I get back from Alaska, I will put the syllabus and other materials on my website and link to that here on Bluesky. In the meantime, enjoy! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Teaching the way I wish I was taught: Design and implementation of a class on historically excluded and underrepresented scientistsonlinelibrary.wiley.com The Journal of Cellular Physiology examines eukaryotic cell biology and physiology, focusing on articles that investigate cell structure and function.

We received nearly 500 applications from 46 countries. If you are passionate about #bioinformatics education and training or can share this with someone who is, Now is the time to get your application in. Join us in NY or online. New funding will help those at MSIs or from excluded groups.

Delight to host this event — see you in New York!

Applications are now open for the 2024 #Bioinformatics Education Summit! Held both virtually and on-site at the New York Genome Centre, this working meeting will bring together bioinformatics education professionals from around the world. Apply now at bioinfoedsummit.org!

(Mostly) French breakfast morning! Bacon, homemade sourdough with shallots and pecorino Romano. Frittata with sage and oregano, shallots and heirloom cherry tomatoes, with Dijon aioli. It’s not quite @jasonwilliamsny.bsky.social quality work, but it’s delicious and pretty enough.

King Charles is profiting from the deaths of thousands of people in the northwest of England who have no wills or next-of-kin. He has collected tens of millions of pounds in recent years. Insiders call it his “slush fund.”

Mentorship is one of the most important structures that determine success, yet we leave it to chance. We're starting a project to raise the bar through training, awareness, and culture change in #PlantScience. Join us in creating the program! Several levels of engagement.

We are excited to open applications for a Working Group on Culturally Responsive Mentoring in #Plantscience. We're looking for a diverse set of volunteers across all career stages (undergraduates to established mentors) to help develop this program. Apply by Jan 10. rootandshoot.org/working-grou...
