  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. Day 11 #ArtAdventCalendar: Happy birthday to trailblazing US #astronomer Annie Jump Cannon (1863 – 1941), here 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. 🧵

  7. It's that time of year again... time for #DisabledInSTEM 2026 Mentorship applications! I'm so excited to be running this program for the sixth year and seeing the growth over the years!

  8. I’m very grateful to @cenmag for dedicating this year’s Trailblazers issue to disabled scientists.
    Representation matters, and so does giving grad students the chance to contribute to these stories.
    Honored to be part of this powerful collection.

  9. At one point, preparing for my qualifying exam (an oral exam/dissertation proposal), I had psychosomatic pains that made me (and several medical professionals!) think I was having a heart attack. It felt like there was no way to slow down and take care of myself. #MentalHealth #DisabledInSTEM (2/4)

  10. Want to learn more about all of the amazing work that has been part of #DisabledInSTEM?

    Check out this recent @NatureEcoEvo interview with Alyssa Paparella to see the insights of starting this platform while being a graduate student!

  11. I guess I hadn't posted this yet and didn't even know it had come out-- I was interviewed for (and co-wrote w/Daniel Rabosky) a Trends in Ecology & Evolution "TrendsTalk" article on "Disability in ecology and evolution" -- cell.com/trends/ecology-evolut #DisabledInSTEM #academicchatter #academia

  14. Hi friends! I haven’t had many
    #DisabledInSTEM
    merch sales this whole year and would appreciate any support!

    I have A LOT of medical bills coming up. Your support helps me to pay my bills and focus on my advocacy, such as running the Mentorship Program!

  15. Join this year's #DisabledInSTEM #SecretSanta!

    With everything happening in the world, it's a great to connect the community and make the Holiday Season a bit brighter for everyone!

  16. Previously, I've run a #SecretSanta Exchange for the #DisabledInSTEM and #Disability communities. With everything going on this year, is this something people would be interested in still?

    I match individuals to send a gift via Amazon wishlist (so no addresses are given out) and it's usually around $20. This helps for people who are alone during the Holiday Season!

  17. It’s more important than ever to support each other and build community.

    Able-bodied mentors are invited to join and help support disabled mentees during these trying times ahead #DisabledInSTEM

  18. It is
    #NationalMentoringDay
    and the
    #DisabledInSTEM
    Mentorship Program would not be possible without the generous mentors who volunteer throughout the year long program!

    Thank you to all mentors for their dedication and commitment! 💜

  19. Today is
    #NationalMentoringDay
    and it’s a great opportunity to sign up for the
    #DisabledInSTEM
    2025 Mentorship Program!

  20. Lots of new folks here on BlueSky, so perhaps time for a (re)introduction! I'm Evan (they/them), and I'm a chemical researcher. Currently a postdoc at CMU, soon to be an assistant prof. in chemical engineering. #ChemSky #CompChem #AcademicSky #LGBTQSTEM #DisabledInSTEM 🧪 1/n

  23. 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.

  24. I was interviewed by "STEM with Disabilities" about my invisible disability #epilepsy for a profile here: stemwithdisabilities.com/stori #AcademicChatter #DisabledInSTEM It means a lot to me to be able to share some thoughts and experiences.

  25. On September 3rd, there's a virtual discussion of Margaret Price's
    new book "Crip Spacetime" organized by the Society for Disability Studies. Panelists include Aparna Nair, Benjamin Reiss, and Helen Rottier.

  26. I brought a couple of complaints to my HR recently & damn, I'm happy. They confirmed what I thought (yes, this looks an awful lot like disability discrimination) & are investigating. Fingers crossed folks. HR is not always the friend of disabled folks in #HigherEd so I had to share the news.

    Also, to all of my disabled friends in academia, document the heck out of everything.

  27. 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.

  28. Accommodations are hardly ever the solution. For a disabled person to be granted accommodations, we have to jump through numerous hoops, and there is no guarantee they will be granted (it's hardly ever a doctor deciding-it's an institution). Allies build inclusion in so we don't need accommodations.

  29. I'm looking to do more for #disability in #academia. If you want a speaker for an event etc. in this theme, please contact me. I'd even enjoy just talking informally w/academics about lived experiences as disabled persons. #DisabledAcademic #AcademicChatter #DisabledInSTEM
