  2. Today I just want to share that my girlfriend is incredible and I'm really impressed by her achievements.

    She had to face her director of thesis for her doctorate because she thought a theory in her field was wrong, even though it was the standard use in the whole domain for 20 years.

    Without any support from her university for this, she proved to her director, and to the rest of her field that the theory was wrong and needed to be reevaluated. Another lab contacted her later to confirm they had the same observation.

    Given the level of politics in academia and the mysoginy in STEM, I find it incredible and inspiring.

    Te amo Deborah Cezar Mendonça

  3. Once a #TitleIX complaint begins, anonymity ends. You're named. Cross-examined.

    This petition asks Congress to fix that.
