💡 Awards that dismantle barriers.
Dr. Rebecca Trueman’s WiNUK Award elevated her teaching career and amplified the urgent call for diversity in neuroscience. This isn’t just a celebration. It’s momentum. It’s justice. It’s the future of science.

A collage-style image critiquing exploitative consultation practices involving Indigenous peoples of the Americas. Top left: bold yellow and black text reads, "Native North American, South American & Central American lives, lands, resources and data are in 'consultation' with those who have never had our Interests at heart." Top center images show an Indigenous man on horseback, a shirtless Amazonian man with text "Mi vida está en consulta," and a cartoon of a butcher about to carve a carcass labeled as "consultation." Bottom left: graphics of dollar signs, a genome strand, and a U.S. dollar bill. Bottom right: angry white men holding torches at a white supremacist rally. A black box with yellow text reads, "While the 'low hanging fruit' of our Genomes will help those who definitely get to decide their own fates." The collage contrasts Indigenous exploitation with privileged control over data and destiny.
Who gets to decide? "Those who have never had our interests at heart?" It's time for that to change. #NativeBioData #IndigenousScience #DataSovereignty #STEMJustice #DecolonizeDNA #IndigenousFutures
Native Americans suffer worse health outcomes than any other group, particularly in cancer, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders. This gap in health will continue to widen unless we intervene.

PUT THAT DOWN.
Why do Indigenous communities need control over their own biospecimens + data?

Join us July 24, 7-8pm @ Faction Brewing, for a powerful conversation on research, representation, and reef restoration with Dr. DeVant’e Dawson. This is the future of ocean science.
The reefs need healing. So do our systems.

Trump’s admin just canceled a federal grant meant to support Black, Latina & Native women in computer science.
Not because it wasn’t working.
Not because it wasn’t needed.
But because helping women of color isn’t on their agenda.
