We made it to Friday! I'm going to share three tips on using Signal from someone who has been using it for both work and personal communications for...a long time.

The thumbnails for three videos on YouTube shorts. The first is titled Trans Stories: ACPeds and shows a scene from Minecraft and the word discrimination. The second is titled Trans Stories: Moms for Liberty and shows a scene from Minecraft. The third is titled Trans Stories: Abigail Shrier and has the book cover for Shrier's irreversible damage over a scene from Minecraft.

Today's the day: Introducing SHORT VIDEO from Assigned Media.

Here's a link to our channel on YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCyi...

And here we are on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@assignedmedia

very excited to share this piece in Cell, where we lay out how transphobia is deeply intertwined with other forms of oppression, how it shapes the way we frame research, and what other scientists + institutions can do to support trans scientists:
