I want to be crystal clear about something. The people I love most in the world are being directly attacked, threatened and having their scientific careers destroyed, and if I have the internal bandwidth to share about the experience on here I expect conversation, not lecturing. I'm not interested in a fraction of mastodon reply whining in my replies when I'm talking about science in 2025, not while my wife has to think about her physical safety because she dares lead diversity in STEM programs
