My favorite ways so far to help Black communities:– Listen and learn, engage in a discussion. On ig and twitter, #BlackInTheIvory has heartbreaking stories of struggles Black researchers face in academia. Otherwise Forbe’s, “First, Listen. Then, Learn: Anti-Racism Resources For White People.” lists books like Between the World and Me to When They See Us (a series […]
Here is a tiny list of really cool artists and groups who are donating their profits from some their art works to support BLM and other related organizations! Buy a mug or a print for a good cause (but don’t let this be an excuse to not help in other ways). These are all instagram […]
(all handles are for instagram) If you have yet to donate to support Black and other minority communities, you’re not too late! @blackvisionscollective made a list of “many incredible organizations in Minneapolis are doing powerful work to keep people safe in the streets, defend Black, Indigenous and other targeted communities from the police and white supremacists, rebuild […]
The sensory system that processes touch is called the somatosensory system. This system also detects and relays information about proprioception (how your joints are positioned), temperature, internal organs, and some chemical stimuli (like capsaicin, found in hot chili peppers). All this sounds relatively straight forward, but this field has been changing really rapidly! (1) Textbooks […]
Princess Bubblegum (an Adventure Time character) is a pink bubblegum that rules a candy kingdom and a scientist who made cognizant candies! A feminine character who doesn’t just sit around looking pretty; her role showcases a woman with a complicated character arc. She is an intellectual and who is periodically drunk with power, which is […]
Dr. Erika Ebbel Angle, in addition to earning a PhD in biochemistry, was once Miss Massachusetts! At the beginning of her science career, while an undergrad at MIT, she was signed up by her friends to participate in a pageant. At first she mocked participating in the competition with remarks about wanting to be a […]
Lyndsey Scott is a freelance software engineer who has been featured by Forbes, NPR, and others. And if this isn’t impressive enough, she’s a model! She has modeled for Victoria’s Secret, Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and more!She currently models and programs while advocating for minorities in STEM – she should be a role model for […]
Nausicaa (a Ghibli character), saved her country with what she learned studying in her secret basement lab! Although she lives in a world created by director Hayao Miyazaki, scientists having multiple roles are not unrealistic. Just as Nausicaa oversees a village and studies in a lab, researchers are often not just researchers; outside of the […]
We perceive the world through our sensory systems, and our brain is great at making sense of this information. Much of our spinal cord and brainstem is to relay sensory information up to the brain and then sending motor information back down for a response. For example, while noise is just changes in air compressions, […]
