Would you believe it if I told you that you and I, the ground we walk on, the sun, and everything else is made of the same things? We are all composed of atoms. Atoms are the smallest thing that exists that gives a substance its chemical properties. Atoms are made of two main parts….
I know that title sounds dramatic, but bear with me, because transgender lives are at stake.
If you aren’t aware, the World Health Organization (WHO) recently announced changes to gender non-conformity guidelines. These guidelines remove “gender identity disorder” (GID) as a “mental disorder”. Instead, the guidelines have been moved into the sexual health portion of global health guidelines.
At first glance, this seems like a good thing. There are more than a few trans* activist groups that have worked diligently for this move. However, I believe that this will make it harder for trans* people (especially people of color and poor trans* people) to access proper medical care.
I recently shared what my day as a PhD student is like on Twitter. From fixing error messages to eating “grown-up” lunches, I think you’ll find that the grad school life is a bit different from what you might think. I’ve collected all the tweets in a Twitter Moment. Enjoy! [adinserter block=”2″] A Day…
Animation can help explain your science with step-by-step presentation and motion. Here are 5 ways to integrate animation into your presentations and social media.
It’s been a while since I posted but not because things have been slow. I’ve been hard at work on several new projects. I hope you’ll be as excited as I am to see all the changes.
My art career was shaped by my lack of accessibility to a pipeline that would have led me to a job. The same can be said of my scientific career. In this post, I discuss what an ideal pipeline looks like.
I was born female and transitioned to full-time male in my 20s. I think people would like to believe that society treated me the same, but that’s absolutely not true. I’m treated very differently by men, by women, by almost everyone. This is why I felt this post on sexual harassment was important.
Some days are really tough. Sometimes those days stretch out to weeks or months or more. Here are 5 tips for moving forward during dark times.
Science writing allows us to communicate science to the general public, but we can do more. Science art and other fields are moving us into a new revolution of science communication. Read on for the next frontiers of science communication.
Cells can enter a dormant state called quiescence, and dormant cancer cells are resistant to chemotherapy and other treatments. A team led by UA Cancer Center researcher Guang Yao, PhD, has identified ways to regulate cell dormancy and “wake” these cells from their “slumber” to make them susceptible to cancer treatments.
In part 3 of this series on alternative careers in science, we’ll focus on science communication. From public relations to medical writing, get all the details.
When I started graduate school, I understood the science well, but was struggling to understand how to interpret results. Learning logic through programming helped. Here’s how.
