  1. Happy birthday to x-ray #crystallographer Dorothy Mary Crowfoot Hodgkin (née Crowfoot, 1910-1994), Nobel laureate in #chemistry for her models of biomolecules like penicillin, vitamin B12 & insulin.

    She was “captured for life by chemistry and crystals,” in childhood, 1 of 2 girls allowed to study chemistry rather than domestic science at her school with a small lab in her attic. On her 16th birthday her mother gave her 🧵1/

  2. For the #Spacetober day 11 prompt wavelength: my #linocut of trailblazing US #astronomer Annie Jump Cannon (1863 – 1941) with her stellar classification system which sorted stars based on spectral types, revealing their temperature from hot blue to cool red stars: O,B,A, F, G, K & M. Named the Harvard Classification after the university, her tremendous contribution was less visible. 🧵1/n

  3. I have to compartmentalize. I have to make things black and white. I have to reduce arguments down to the ultimate question.

    I have to do all of these things because my brain is a chaotic tangle of interconnections and overlapping thoughts.

    In order to sort, I need to first simplify.

  4. Yes, I started writing this blog post on technology to make writing easier when you have ADHD a long, long time ago.

    That said, it's meant to be a resource. Have suggestions or different experiences? Please share!

  5. Submitted online to be asked in response to something Barbara Smith, JD said, but not passed on as an actual question to the panel: #Disrupting Ableism #disability #DisabledInSTEM #UCAccessNow

  6. They just closed the online telecast. In-person attendees are going on to a reception. The online stream is replying the pre-recorded introductions and experiences of the planning commitee. #Disrupting Ableism #disability #DisabledInSTEM

  7. Bonnie Swenor was just asked by Holden Thorp (from the audience): Don't you think this would be a good time for NASEM to do a consensus study?

    She replies: Thank you for asking me that at this recorded event.

  8. They had to work hard to convince management that ableism NEEDED to be disrupted to achieve much success in disability rights, equity, etc. #Disrupting Ableism #disability #DisabledInSTEM

  9. Mark Leddy, Lead Program Director, Division of Equity for Excellence in STEM and the Directorate for STEM Education (EDU), National Science Foundation, introduces himself and identifies as disabled, discloses MS. Says he was not as a grad student, but has "black holes" in the MS sense now.

    It took a long time to convince mgmt this event was worthy of support. #Disrupting Ableism #disability #DisabledInSTEM

  10. They're also accepting conference proposals, EAGERS, etc. They'll take those today. #Disrupting Ableism #disability #DisabledInSTEM

  11. He exhorts people to reframe how they think of disabled people and think of the positives they've been fencing out of their orgs.

    Everything has been about the individual. This event has a systemic approach so we have to talk about the environment they're creating. #Disrupting Ableism #disability #DisabledInSTEM

  12. I was very afraid that panels' business-centricity was going to make it very bad. It had some surprisingly good bits. #Disrupting Ableism #disability #DisabledInSTEM
