"Who would have predicted this?"

- Black women did.
- Trans people did.
- The *entire* disability community did.
- The anarchists did.
- Post-Evangelicals did.

"Well why didn't I hear them."

You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

Also if you at at #ACA2025 and missed my talk today, you can catch my other talk on Tuesday in 4.2.3 Engaging Students with Crystallography where I will share lessons learned from creating/running a protein crystallography CURE!

Gave a talk in the Hot Structures session today at #ACA2025 in Chicago!

Fun fact: the first conference talk I ever gave was in 2010 at my first ACA meeting, also in the Hot Structures session, also in Chicago!! (See bonus pic below of me attending ACA2010) ☺️

And if you see me at #ACA2025 say hi!
