You can read for free the comics I made last year with the Sci_All organization, about the origin stories of six AAAS IF/THEN Ambassadors® in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Thank you. I wish my lecturers focused on actually EXPLAINing what was happening instead of just babbling nonsense at me, like an unsuccessful years-long immersion / torture program.

Episode 16: Decolonising Computing, Part 1 by Diversifying and Decolonising the University

In this episode (the first of two parts), Catarina Carvalho talks to Mustafa Ali about the possibilities of decolonising, representation, and racial awarding gaps. Part 2 talks more explicitly about tech and computing - that episode will drop next week. FURTHER RESOURCES: Mustafa Ali, 'A Brief Introduction to Decolonial Computing' Mustafa Ali, 'Towards a Decolonial Computing' EPISODE NOTES: Dr. Mustafa Ali  is a Lecturer in Computing at the Open University. He conducts transdisciplinary research investigating the interactions between race, religion, politics, ethics, and computing/ICT. Specifically, he examines and critically analyzes how colonial power harmfully affects our ways of seeing and thinking. Please leave us feedback about the show via this link.

I wanted to be a physicist. Thankfully, I had supportive parents who encouraged me in STEM, and I even got to play with a high-powered 80s laser on an optics table at WSU. That project got me first place in the science fair.

But I, too, got these confusing messages, not just from the LDS church but ALSO from my parents. I could be anything I wanted to be, as long as it was a stay at home mom. When I visited the BYU physics dept, the wall of photos were 98% men.

So I entered college terrified, recently married, directionless, and soon pregnant. I would eventually have a 15-year fallback career in IT... as a struggling single parent.

Abby: 'Looking back on that moment now I think, “Oh my gosh, that wasn’t divine revelation! You’d just had seventeen lessons in a row about how you needed to get married and make babies, and your brain was finally giving in to the overwhelming pressure.”'

"I would’ve loved the opportunity that LDS men seem to take for granted, which is the ability to have both a family and accomplishments, goals and ambitions outside of the home."

Happy for this paper on diversifying syllabi in ecology, evolution, and life sciences is out! It includes example lesson plans, resources, and templates. Huge congrats to the lead author, Tolu, who is not on mastodon

Kattelin tossa lämpimikseni Erasmuksen "Digital Opportunities Traineeship"- paikkoja opiskelijoille, jotka tahtoisivat suorittaa työharjoittelujakson ulkomailla.
Sieltä löytyikin aika paljon tarjontaa, joissa mulla olis osaamista, mutta jännästi näyttää siltä, ettei nää olekaan meikäläiselle suunnattu. 🤔
