Problem
STEM education has largely prioritized the work of white men, while minimizing, omitting, or perpetuating harmful stereotypes about the knowledge and contributions of STEM leaders of color.
Students from communities underrepresented in STEM careers may be unaware of STEM career opportunities beyond the basics, and they often don’t “see” themselves represented in the field, making them feel like they don’t belong.
Solution
Educate yourself about how you can get paid to follow your passion and do world-changing work through STEM. Then educate your friend(s) about real-life STEM professionals, so that they can find their dream STEM careers, too.
Sometimes I wanna know what mother nature was smoking
My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
In 2013 I built 23 scale and life-size models for MUSE Science Museum, in Trento, Italy. Here's an enlarged Wiwaxia, an animal (possibly a mollusc) from the Early and Middle Cambrian.

In 2013 I built a life-size model of Thecodontosaurus for the Bristol Dinosaur Project. Here is how it was built, part 2 of 9.

Here's a closer look at the 565 Million years old Haootia quadriformis – what a beautiful animal! Again, it is time to stop reconstructing these animals standing on discs.
Let’s talk about prairie, history, and language. For communities so focused on “native plants”/”native gardening”/etc there’s so little acknowledgement or engagement with indigenous Americans and their history.
When we talk about science, there’s a baseline assumption of objectivity. Science is Truth, something apart from messy cultural ideas. The reality is, culture and all it’s messes bleed into science, like here in ecology. We gotta be conscious of the histories we inherit in science.
