The agency who generates official diversity statistics for the US scientific workforce was forced to give up its pilot data, which show it's been misrepresenting its data to avoid adding LGBTQ+ questions. National Center for Science & Engineering Stats is obstructing LGBTQ+ equity in science. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

NEW: Does the American Dream foster inequality?

Let’s start with a shocking stat:

These two things are simultaneously true:
• The richest Americans are the richest in the world
• Food poverty is more severe in America than in any other developed country

Sometimes I worry that this wretched earth will not survive the wretched night that humanity has plunged it into...
Sometimes I am worried that it might.
Because what will be left of humanity stripped of humanity?
What monstrosity will emerge at the other side of midnight?

If I must die, let it be a tale.

Excellent event earlier today with Yvette Taylor & Kevin Guyan ⬇️ (Mis)use, (mis)representation, success & failures of #QueerData were explored. Looking forward to continuing this discussion in the future LGBTQual with a focus on qualitative data for #LGBTQ + inclusion in STEM.

Pls RT: Calling LGBTQ+ people in STEM in the UK!

Please join an LGBTQual+ focus group (online or in person) and/or workshop!

Fascism. Everywhere. Leaders must speak out. This is consuming us.

A good example for why central governments setting “performance indicators” is not necessarily about helping people who need the government to perform well.

Today marks 20 years since the repeal of Section 28. My article in the Conversation describes how #Section28 impacted my career as a teacher and outlines what I think we can learn from this period of our history. theconversation.com/twenty-years-a…

Brilliant The British Curriculum Forum (BCF) event earlier today! We heard how school meals can be a powerful pedagogical tool, the parallels between monoculture and non-inclusive education, and how to engage with audiences who face barriers to participation in #ClimateChange education. 🌎🌿 #BERA_Climate
