Don't mind me I'm just a scientist doing the thing
Ignore the face of someone who hasn't slept yet and starved the other day because they had a terrible start of day that absolutely depleted their energy lmao

Throwback to our very first, original Pridelobite pin. 🌈
Design inspired by the Cryptolithus genus with very long genial spines is so iconic and fun. We often got a comment that reminds people of the Star Trek comm badge, so it caused double excitement in Paleontology-loving Trekkies. 😁
As much as we loved prolonged spines combined with the roundness of the original design, we needed a design that can accommodate the Progress Pride Flag and more than six stripes.
💌Which Queerlobite pin design do you prefer? Let us know in the comments!

Happy pride
Here’s a friendly reminder to my fellow queers in STEM:
You know what the fuck you’re doing and you deserve your place in your lab, in the field, wherever you are
And fuck anybody who tells you different

Didn't do much 2day. Gonna be busy next week with schools and such. Got an internship interview for next summer. I'm preparing for that. I'm also doing stuff for financial aid and the like. It's the sprint to fall break and I'm flooring it.

I’m recovering from being sick but I’m still killing it!! Had my presentation on treatment planning algorithms in my adv radiation therapy class today, and per usual I sprinkled in a few audience participation questions. My professor asked if it was my own original question (it was) and wants to submit it to the board of radiology for use in their continuing education assessments, since he’s serving on the committee that writes them. I wrote a question good enough to test practicing phd holding medical physicists with?!?!! unreal

Just a reminder that trans people, you aren't betraying anybody by transitioning. You aren't disappointing women, or men, or whomever because you have decided to transition. This is a personal decision, and if somebody put so much stake into your gender that they feel betrayed by you when they were wrong, that is (frankly) not your problem.
You aren't betraying anybody.

study participants needed!
UPDATE: thank you everyone that's taken part :) the study has now closed, we got over 200 participants!! thank you so much
Hi, I'm a second year psychology student doing research on how queer people view others within the LGBTQ+ community.
Its just a short task and survey that should take 5-10minutes to complete, any participation is appreciated! Thank you!
Link (including info about our ethical aproval): https://run.pavlovia.org/Wake/public-iat/
Extra clarrification on some things under the cut :)
In this study we use the words "(gender) conforming" to mean anyone thats not part of the LGBTQ+ community and "(gender)non-conforming" for anyone that is. This was suggested to help us code the results better, but we now know that this may have overcomplicated things.
The first part of the study involves an IAT, for some people they will be put into the "positive, conforming" conditioin first and others will be the "positive, nonconforming" first. It may seem scewed, and some people have bought up that it can seem bias, but that is just how this type of test works- it has been used and tested in many other studies and has not shown internal bias.
These are the main two points people have bought up, feel free to ask any other questions about this research though I will be happy to try and answer as much as I can :)
