    Sign this petition urging to update their conference policies to include an anti-discrimination clause stating they won't events in locations unsafe for LGBTQ & undocumented folks. This year's location has directly and unfairly affected many students. Please support them!

    Tell to update their bylaws to support undocumented and LGBTQ+ people by boycotting states with discriminatory laws.

    This is an interesting one from and al. on the inhibition of SpyCas9 by anti-CRISPR ArcIIA2 and ArcIIA4 by CryoEM. The temperature dependance of the -Cas9 inhibition is an interesting finding

    I have been judged and discounted many times in my life, but never because of the color of my skin. That is white privilege. Women of color deserve much, much, better.

    I’m a light-skinned but a WoC nonetheless. I’m reminded of this every time people treat me in an insidiously demeaning way—a way they’d never treat white women. I cannot even begin to imagine how much worse it is for dark-skinned WoC. My 🖤 goes out to y’all.
