No research is useless. You never know what will come out of it. Ubadah said it better ⤵️.
Since we're talking about funding of absurd research by NIH and other federal agencies, the funded scientists:. - watching flies fuck.- giving rats massages.- spending years digging into why jellyfish glow.- tracking penguin poop from space.- using horseshoe crab blood.

And this thread only refers to language. There are so many layers to this. If you're interested in cultural competence, I’d be happy to share resources with you. Just send me a DM! 🧵5/5.

Please remember that we face an extra layer of difficulty in a job that is already quite complex, and we don’t need any additional burdens. Practice empathy. 🧵4/5.

So please, if you ever feel offended by a non-native speaker colleague's comment, try to approach the situation with empathy before making complaints. Be mature and ask about the intended meaning of the comment that bothered you. Give them a chance to explain🧵3/5.
