Just thinking about how crucial water parameters are for keeping shrimp healthy! 🦐✨ Maintaining that perfect pH balance between 6.5-7.5 is like creating a little utopia for them. And don’t even get me started on calcium—those molts can be a real struggle if they don’t get enough.

Also, shoutout to my fellow queer shrimp enthusiasts—keeping tiny aquatic ecosystems thriving is the ultimate act of love! ❤️🇨🇳 #ShrimpLife #LGBTQInSTEM

Fired in 1968 for being transgender, Lynn Conway didn’t just rebuild her career—she revolutionized computing. After completing her transition in an era of brutal discrimination, she co-invented VLSI chip design (the foundation of modern tech) and became a trailblazer for both engineering and transgender visibility. Her genius refused to be erased. 💻🏳️‍⚧️

In the midst of all the *gestures at everything*, I've been slacking in my blogging duties. But no longer. I'm pleased to release my latest post and first foray into gender: "On the Properties of Gender Spaces". #gendersky #LGBTQInSTEM

On the Properties of Gender Sp...

Let your friends and family know you are there for them. Talk to people; build coalitions. Educate yourself. Do not tolerate intolerance. Speak up against bigotry when you see it, and always recognize the humanity in other people.

We just had the first LGBTQ+ staff-student group meetup on our campus in over a year (with vegan blaeberry buns!) and it was lovely to see so many people! 🦄

Hoping we can do things more regularly and bring more visibility to our community on campus.

Some of the ways I’ve added my pronouns to conference badges over the years…

It’s frustrating that one has to add them afterwards (even if as in the LISA Symposium case it’s a pre-printed sticker), because by making my badge different it draws attention that I’m not always looking for.

The Software Sustainability Institute is running an inclusive research project with paid opportunities for research software engineers from systematically excluded groups to get involved in sessions Jan-Apr 2024.

Deadline: Friday 17th November 10am UTC!

I set up a separate account for #science and #cosmology related stuff, so here's a new #introduction! Hi, I’m Deanna (they/them) 👋 . I'm a postdoc at the Helsinki Institute of Physics working on #DarkMatter and #GravitationalWaves. I love science #outreach and I’ve been hosting a livestream show called #CupOfCosmology since late 2015 (link in bio). I also talk about my struggles with #MentalHealth in #academia, and my experience as #LGBTQInSTEM and as a (perceived) #WomenInSTEM.

I figured it was finally time for a new #introduction post, so here goes.

Hi, I’m Deanna (they/them) :blobfoxwave:​. I’m nonbinary and genderfluid. I’ve moved around Europe a lot, before finding my home in #Finland. I have #misophonia and I’ve been dealing with #LongCovid since mid 2020.

I really enjoy #travelling, although with the #ClimateCrisis I try to minimise my carbon emissions when travelling. I love #music and #musicals, and I’m always happy to get recommendations. I also really like #baking and #cooking (mostly #vegan). Other interests include #DoctorWho and #origami.

I work as a physicist studying some of the cool stuff that happened in the early universe. I’m very passionate about science #outreach and I’ve been doing #cosmology livestreams - called #CupOfCosmology - since late 2015 (link in bio). I'm also open about my struggles with #MentalHealth in academia, and my experience as #LGBTQInSTEM and as a (perceived) #WomanInSTEM.

I love meeting new people, so feel free to follow and interact!

New #Introduction!

👋 I'm David (or D. or Dave), a queer Fennoscottish physicist.

Although my work is in #physics and you will see #science stuff on here, I write here in a personal capacity expressing my own opinions. I try to draw attention to experiences of being #LGBTQInSTEM and #QueerInSTEM. I'm also interested in becoming a better #teacher and learning more about #pedagogy, as well as putting it into practice.

I'm interested in the outdoors, in #hiking and in understanding the natural world around me. I'm terrible at recognising #birds but I am trying to get better at it. I also love #gardening and adore (non-invasive) #rhododendrons.

Raising awareness about #ClimateChange and engaging in #SlowTravel is important for me. I try to do as much work and personal travel as I can in a low carbon way. Fortunately, I love #trains too.

Feel free to follow me, but I generally only follow people that I have actually interacted with.

This week, NSF announced that it will pilot test questions about sexual orientation and gender identity on the Survey of Earned Doctorates, its annual census of U.S. Ph.D. recipients. My latest story for @sciencemagazine. #ScienceMastodon #LGBTQinSTEM

Hi everyone! I'm a queer theoretical physicist trying to understand the cool stuff that happened in the early universe. I've moved countries a few times, but now I'm settled in Finland.

I host #CupOfCosmology, a weekly interactive show about the universe (https://www.youtube.com/c/CupOfCosmology). I love animals, and I enjoy sci-fi shows, baking, origami, listening to music and solving puzzles.

I'm here to learn new things and meet cool people!

#Introduction #LGBTQinSTEM #Science #LGBTQ #scicomm #Cosmology

I'm David, a queer Finnish physicist originally from Scotland. I write on here in a personal capacity.

I use big computers to simulate the very early universe.

I also want to become a better teacher. For example, I want to understand what leads people from minoritised groups to abandon studies in physics.

I help out with the local LGBTQ+ community, such as our LGBTQ+ STEM day events.

Fun fact – people at work consider me really measured and insightful when I speak up in meetings I'm not facilitating/leading. Honestly most of the time I'm quiet because it takes me longer to process, so I generally say one thing in a meeting after being able to take in all the relevant information.

Hey #EnergyMastodon and #EnergyTwitter! Here's a quick #introduction to me: I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Oxford researching the impact of heat pump deployment on the electricity system in the UK and US. I focus on the spatial and grid planning aspects of this problem. During my PhD, I've become a bit of a map nerd and enjoyed communicating with policymakers and general audiences about my research. #Energy #heatpump #lgbtqinstem

Hi, I'm part of the influx of ex-#chemtwitter users!

I am a research technician based in London, currently working with NMR spectroscopy in #metabolomics. Am just finishing up my PhD thesis on the application of DOSY to metabolic profiling. You'll find me on #NMRchat, chatting about books, and taking part in the #LGBTQInStem, #AcesInSTEM and #MinoritiesInSTEM communities.

@ASleepyWanderer I loved the #Astrodon name! 🪐 Happy #LGBTQinSTEM day

Since it's #LGBTQinSTEM Day, I thought it was time for an #introduction!

I'm a PhD student at Oxford where I study #earthquake mechanics, particularly an idea called determinism: do big and small earthquakes start the same, and does this mean we can determine magnitude before an earthquake rupture is over?

I'm a member of the #QueerInSTEM and #DisabledInSTEM communities and am passionate about EEDI work, including co-running my department's LGBTQIA+ group (today we're going for ice-cream! 🍦)

So I seem to have done my #introduction post all wrong with not a hashtag in sight! Let’s try again.

I am a #gay #patent attorney based in #London, with background in #chemistry . Interests include #legal writing, #Japan, #LGBTQinSTEM and other #LGBTQ inclusion, #intellectualproperty and #translation. #English, #Español, #Deutsch, #Nihongo, #Français

This summer, I got to present some workshops on #trans #nonbinary #TGNC inclusion at the Wilson Ornithological Society meeting. This post recaps some of the main points of those wonderful discussions.

I shared this in my intro, but it's a piece I'm really proud of that: how teaching #biology through a #transgender and #intersex inclusive lens not only creates more welcoming classrooms, but actually makes us better at teaching about things like sex determination and genetics.

I had assumed most my followers here would be people who already knew me from Twitter, but since it seems like that's not the case, I thought I'd share more of my past #writing you may have missed!

I #blog on my website on a variety of topics. Many are about #QueerInSTEM topics, like this guide to building an inclusive lab:
