I live most of my life in circumstances where not all scientists, engineers, and inventors are assumed to be men. Then, every once in a while, I get hit by something like this. I know that it is a silly quiz on a cruise ship, but it made my stomach drop. #RepresentationMatters #WomeninSTEM #DoBetter

Can confirm that a trip through the Panama Canal is worth it!

I love working at UMN and living in the Twin Cities. The #QualityOfLife is high, and the #CherryOnTop for this academic is that the airport and the number of direct flights are amazing - fully supported by a recent study published in Forbes, ranking #MSP as the best mega airport in the US

LabSigns Project Brings New Scientific Terms to American Sign Language LabSigns is a new effort spearheaded by a Deaf scientist and a hearing scientist to create American Sign Language signs for the laboratory.

What a cool inclusion-focused project - these PNNL scientists are developing new technical terms for American Sign Language to facilitate the work of deaf and hard-of-hearing scientists
