Seeing this goal by Madison Kaiser was one of my all-time favorite gopher hockey highlights. What a snipe!

A quick reminder that you have control over the design of your slide deck. 'This slide is far too busy' or 'you probably can't read this' are admissions that you've not put enough thought into audience experience.

Reinvesting in what matters

Sexism in academia is bad for science

Why are there high rates of female attrition across career stages -

Hostile workplaces?
Biased performance assessments?
Inequity in workloads?

#HardOfHearing people need 🎤 for #accessibility #a11y
