Anyone want to donate a 4 degree fridge and -20 degree freezer to my lab please :-( Not having fridge and freezers kinda make doing science difficult... #NewPI #NoStartUp #HELP #Academia #LGBTinSTEM

Good productive day. Got a bunch done. Started and finished 7 experiments, planned 3 to complete tomorrow, 4 others to start and complete this weekend, and 5 others to start and complete Monday and Tuesday and updated half my lab notebook hahaha #newPI #LGBTinSTEM #stillatthebench #needfunding

--- A gradient background with pastel pink, blue, and yellow hues. At the top left, the oSTEM logo is displayed. In the centre, a black circular logo with a rainbow border contains the text "STEM, LGBTQ & You 2025." Below, bold black text reads, "Thank you to our partners!" Four partner logos are displayed: Birmingham Pride Community Foundation – A circular logo with a colourful mosaic design and the word "PRIDE" in the centre. London Mathematical Society – A black geometric star design with "London Mathematical Society Est. 1865" written beside it. Royal Society of Chemistry – A blue and green circular logo with "Royal Society of Chemistry" written in bold text. Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining (IOM3) – A black logo with "IOM3" in bold and "Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining" underneath. The image thanks these organisations for their support of STEM, LGBTQ & You 2025.

🌟 A huge thank you to our partners! 🌟

STEM, LGBTQ & You 2025 wouldn’t be possible without the support of our amazing partners who are committed to uplifting LGBT+ voices in STEM. Your dedication makes a real impact!

#LGBTHistoryMonth #LGBTinSTEM

It's LGBTQ+ history month. Myself, & other LGBTQ+ folk in STEM, work to improve inclusivity. But why is this needed?

The recent dismantling of inclusion initiatives, & the rise of anti-LGBTQ+ governments, it's important to reflect on why we do this 🏳️‍🌈👇🧵

“How hate and homophobia made a genius of Jaguar’s rebrand.” In the words of founder of Sir William Lyons, Jaguar should be “a copy of nothing.” Interesting look at the relaunch of a classic British engineering brand from the other side of all the shouting.

Begonia propagation. Cutting off major veins prevents auxins from moving past that point, so roots develop, which then produce cytokinins that triggers shoot development. I wish all plants were this easy. #PlantScience #Phytohormones #LGBTinSTEM

Celebrating LGBTQ+ STEM Day: A Conversation on STEM, Identity, and Community - Northeastern University College of Science Today, Monday November 18th, marks the fifth year of celebrating LGBTQ+ STEM Day. With the first two years being celebrated in July, this holiday moved to November 18th as an internationally recognize...

hey, it's me! thanks to the northeastern college of science and my department @northeasternmes.bsky.social for this short feature. 🏳️‍⚧️

actively listening to queer and trans perspectives in STEM remains important, especially after celebrations like #LGBTInSTEM day and pride month pass.

Happy LGBTQIA+ in STEM Day!
We may not be as many, or as visible, but you all are awesome in your enquiring, science-y, and technical selves! ⚛️🏳️‍🌈

Here's a microchip I've worked on for a few years having recorded some vitals in the lab. Zoomed in a < 3x3 mm piece of glass in plastic.

Matthew pictured on stage at the Science Museum IMAX theatre. He has a line of five 2 metre high flames in front of him: Red, yellow, green, blue and purple, from left to right, spreading across the stage (approx 8 metres width).

This fiery take on a 🌈 rainbow is still one of my favourite photos of all time. The only thing missing is the heat from it. 😄

Me and my mom at LIGO Livingston while I was a graduate student at LSU in 2016ish. Mom blocked out of photo. I am a fat white nonbinary transman with reddish brown hair and a beard and glasses wearing black shorts and a brown tshirt. I’m holding a strap that probably belongs to a camera but I’m not sure. This was a trip that I took my parents on to show them the detector. I worked on software while there so was not on site much but when I was I forgot to take photos. I was there at LIGO Livingston for the announcement of the first detection as a member of the collaboration and that was cool, although I was not on the team who made or analyzed the first discovery.

A small selection of my reference books. These are many of my computational ones, though I doubt it’s that well organized

My four diplomas. BS Physics MIT 2004 MS Astronomy Ohio State 2006 MS Physics UMN 2013 MS Physics LSU 2017 The diplomas are hard to read in the image but the name on the diploma is my legal/birth name, for all four, because I have not changed my legal name. The diplomas are mounted on a tan wall over a dresser and a desk and a printer

Me, Steven Dorsher, in the foreground. Fat nonbinary transman wearing glasses with short reddish brown hair and a beard. Blue and white striped button down shirt with a broadly striped blue and green sweatshirt on top.

I’m Steven, he/him. I’m a former computational astrophysicist, 20 yrs in the field. BS from MIT, 3 MS’s. I’m disabled now, by seizures, still in education. I’m 42, unsurprisingly not in a PhD program 😂 nor seeking one

It’s the first day of Trans Week of Awareness.

Let’s get a trans people in STEM thread going!

I’m a gay trans man from Sydney, Australia currently finishing my PhD in cognition and neurobiology in Aussie bees.
