Hey ChemSky - we've been working on this report about the experiences of trans graduate students in chemistry for three years and I'm so proud of it 🥲🥲 @stemxicaned.bsky.social@queeridinium.bsky.socialdoi.org/10.26434/che...
Transgender, nonbinary, two spirit, and gender-expansive students are marginalized in higher education and have significantly different college experiences than their cisgender peers. Through in-depth...
Haven't read the full paper yet, but skimming, this looks really well done and quite thoughtful. Love seeing a positionality statement in chemical research! Thank you for pushing forward this urgently needed work.
This is a heavy read, and unfortunately the anecdotes are not surprising. But thank you for this work, especially in the current super-anti-trans climate.
Thanks for doing all this work! It's a great paper and I agree that it needs to be widely read
This is probably a silly question, but do most universities provide health insurance to grad students now? I see that it was difficult to determine whether insurance would cover needed care, but when I applied long ago, many schools offered no insurance at all.
