Still coming down from the high of the annual HHMI Gilliam meeting. To be seen is to be loved, and I truly felt that. Even with the constant undercurrent of anxiety and disappointment (because of … well, everything), there was still so much joy and laughter.

Remember: Joy is resistance. ✨

“I do have a lot to say about the federal prison in Atlanta, where ICE transferred me on Monday, July 7.

The prison is not only old, ugly and gloomy, but it is also designed to drive people crazy.”

tired of being told that survival in academia means staying quiet and keeping my head down. in this political climate, silence doesn’t feel to me like safety. it feels like complicity. my gut is telling me to speak, even if it costs something.

To everyone trying to survive systems built to exclude us: your presence is power. Our persistence is the resistance. 6/6

Do your work, but don’t be too visible. Contribute, but don’t ask for rights. Be exceptional, but don’t expect protection.
But I’m done shrinking. I belong in science not in spite of who I am, but because of who I am. 5/6

And I bring that resilience with me into every classroom, every experiment, and every space I have fought to be included in.
The politicization, silencing, and stripping of resources that is happening to scientists right now feels eerily familiar. It’s what undocumented people have always faced. 4/6

Budget cuts may shrink our labs, policies may undermine our presence, but I’ve lived with instability my whole life. Navigating fear and uncertainty is not new to me. It’s how I got here. 3/6

I've built a life and research career under constant scrutiny and fear: waiting for policy changes that could upend my life, navigating a system that demands proof of belonging, even while I’m pushing the boundaries of what we understand about the world. But the thing is, I'm not going anywhere. 2/6

I’m a woman. I’m undocumented. I’m a scientist. And right now, that combination feels like a direct challenge to everything the current administration is trying to erase. 1/6

I am a proud HHMI Gilliam Fellow alumn. The HHMI funded me at a critical time in my career - a real inflection point that made me realize that I had a place and future in science. I always looked to the HHMI as a safety net to those historically excluded by academia, 1/4

For anyone still not taking this seriously, this is what defcon 1 looks like re: the end of America as a scientific superpower. Heartbroken for our Harvard colleagues and for the world to lose this science.

Yesterday, the NIH R35 “Outstanding Investigator” grant to fund scientists in my lab studying antibiotic resistance was terminated for reasons not related to the content of the science, or any actions taken by me or members of my lab
A screenshot of the termination notice showing "Outstanding Investigator Grants" A screenshot of the termination notice with "This award is terminated effective the date of this award, due to unsafe antisemitic actions that suggest the institution lacks concern for the safety and wellbeing of Jewish students." highlighted

> and yet despite paying into programs like Social Security, undocumented people are barred from accessing these programs

😑😑😑
Tired of being silent on this. Protect each other, folks. Find your community and protect each other.
