My TA orientation suggests to start classes with loud noises or flashing lights to get students' attention. For the sake of those students, please don't. It's stressful or worse for those of us with neuro disorders, anxiety/PTSD, autism, and more. #DisabledInSTEM @JHUTeachAcad.

Academic bullying is a major problem. After reporting my own abuse to the dean in my first grad program 8y ago, my bully was promoted and I was pushed to leave. I left science for years; my career is only now recovering. I am not alone. Neither are you.

We are still receiving letters postmarked the first week of January. We waited nearly 2 months for a replacement credit card to arrive. We drive our rent check across the city because it's not possible to guarantee mail arrival. What's your #USPS nightmare?.

This kid is my new hero for coming up with "Newsy Things Considered". @petersagal better watch out or next we will have "Wait Wait. Don't Tell Me Unless It's About Dinosaurs!".

Dear whoever programmed the Amazon Echo rotating recipes:. "Thin crust Chicago Style deep dish pizza" is decidedly contradictory and not a real thing.

Good for her, but this article just reinforces perceptions that women and minority groups shouldn't try to go into STEM unless they are prodigies, or have prodigious family resources. This is not the only route to being a programmer or scientist.

Katie Stevo, an 18-year-old artificial intelligence whiz, had a plan for everything. 2020 challenged her in ways she never expected.

Been there, done that, got stuffed in the acknowledgements or missed altogether after being assured I would be included as an author. As an undergrad and technician hoping to go to grad school, it was devastating. Clearly I am not alone. #AcademicChatter.

It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they executed the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing at Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

Thanks @BioRender! Your response made my day. I'm very glad you removed these icons. I personally have no artistic bent but would put the question of designing an inclusive biomedical autism icon - if feasible/wanted - to #ActuallyAutistic and #DiversityInSTEM #DisabledinSTEM.
@biochemnerd @BioRender @biochemnerd Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're sincerely sorry for this oversight, and goes to show how much we have to learn about Autism and the community. Would you be open to working with us to design a new, inclusive icon? Will send a DM 🙏🏽.
