November 18 is the International Day of LGBQTIA+ People in STEM! Today more than ever we want to stress the importance of communities, building connections, and raising each other up. Let's keep leaving our mark for the betterment of us all! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #QueerinSTEM prideinstem.org/lgbtstemday/

#WomenInSTEM alert! Hi, I am a wildlife biologist interested in #ornithology and all our feathered friends, but my favourite child is #seabirds! I will be following/posting/interacting with seabird research in particular, but I will also share my past research on Illegal Wildlife Trade! 🌍🪶🧪

Happy #LGBTStemDay & #PolarPride! Here's a pic of me enjoying the Midnight Sun during my first trip to Røst this summer 🌞 #SeabirdPride 🐧

I couldn’t find a starter pack for POCs working in STEM, so I started one myself - my network here is still small and I didn’t want to assume how people identify, so please reply or DM me if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/BJkKQVR
