Ha - I love this photo! From the opening to my keynote at confia in villa do Conde Portugal today - I’m talking about showing how the division between smart and talented is harmful and false (in regards to me studying mathematics & being an art maker). A great gathering all around! confia.ipca.pt

Photo of me on stage in collared shirt open to show protect trans kids tshirt. I’ve got my arms spread like I’m holding two things apart and behind me on screen is a page from a comic I made talking about studying math and art and being referred to as smart and talented respectively…

Thank you @kristinawong.bsky.social & #AA_CARES #SFSU for yesterday's #FOODBANKINFLUENCER performance @ McKenna Theatre. Amazing #solo #karaoke #musical. Brilliant parody lyrics! Learned some history & politics of food banks - Who knew? And bonus: #AuntieSewingSquad in the house!!

Chinese-American woman dressed in T-shirt and green overalls is standing in middle of stage singing into a hand-held microphone and wearing a large flat orange carrot, perhaps made of cardboard and cloth. Around the stage there are small stacks of canned food, as well as another large vegetable/fruit - a large purple eggplant (probably cardboard/cloth). Just backstage of the performer are two tables similarly decorated with long strands of reflective fringe, and they also have some stacks of canned food on them. On the back wall of the stage is a projection screen that is completely black with one phrase on it "So much invisible labor" written in mostly green color text...except that "abor" is in white. To the left and right of the screen are posted signs including: "USDA," "NO HOT FOOD WITH EBT," "U.S.D.A 25¢ FOOD STAMP PROGRAM," "TOPS ALL FOODS FOOD STAMP CREDIT 10c"

Awesome Women of Color in Science Panel hosted by Black Excellence in #STEM @ #SFSU for today’s seminar! Who pivoted to stem cell research after 12 years in STEM education? Who was excited about forensics after a high school experience? Who was 16 yrs old viewing hanta virus in a microbiology lab?..

Intrigued by concept of #circadian control of #immunity shared by #CateraWilder #UCSFSchoolOfPharmacy @sfstatebio.bsky.social seminar. I know these are cells on a plate, but if I’m exposed to a pathogen in the AM vs in the PM, could I have different immunity or #inflammation responses? #wearable
