My Saturday night:
Sharing with permission from E. Antonakos, because sometimes we have to celebrate each other. And I’m fiercely proud of the trailblazers that emerged from my alma mater! ☺️ Euphemia L.

This is such a beautifully written piece about such a messy reality - being a woman and being Black, Indigenous, or another person of color - I definitely had some flashbacks, and a stab of guilt and loss, while reading.
I got this from the Science in Color Facebook feed. Please read it, and please follow Science in Color!

I LOOOOOOVE this video and I am sharing it with EVERYONE today.
It’s about a tongue-eating isopod. This one is a fish parasite. The details are amazing.
A great egret - yellow bill pointed right, white feathers ruffled along the body filling the left of the photo. In the near background, American coots - small black ducks with white bills - walk in the grass. Grey water of a flooded field is in the far background.
This is how I feel today. Hope you feel better!
Saw it on the Science In Color Facebook page - money! For research! For people who historically have gotten less money!
This is a blow, worse than losing Dr. Barres. My heart is so heavy. Le Guin deserves my best words to you, but right now, I can only let the tears flow. Please, go read “Very Far Away From Anywhere Else.” Read “The Left Hand of Darkness.” Read “The Dispossessed.” Honor this tremendous mind, and work to bring the humanity of her fiction to reality.
I am in the midst of a cross-country move, and wish I had time and energy to focus on this more, but at least have to say that I read Dr. Barres’ famed letter as an undergrad in science at a women’s college, and it had a huge impact on me. I am deeply saddened by this loss.
