Ya girl got her M.S.! 😈😁 Thank you to everyone for your support. This is a great accomplishment for myself, my family, and the Latina community. I'm proud to be a part of the 4% of Latinas with a MS degree. Let's get those numbers up!!!

Sonya Massey called the police to protect her and they shot her in the head. She deserved to be safe in her own home. Her life mattered. The senseless killing of Black people at the hands of police must end. We need to legislate to protect Black lives.

Thrilled to have been in #Greenland as part of a @ERC_Research project in the search of natural #hydrogen led by @AVitaleB at @unibo @deep_carbon. It was a successful field campaign with wonderful people! @GianlucaFrasca @GeoOrlo Thomas Gusmeo @jacopaso Benjamin Eskesen – at Greenland

A couple of weeks ago I defended my PhD from @UWMadison. It was the culmination of a long crazy ride, but I'm grateful for all of the experiences. I'm excited for what's to come. – at Wisconsin, USA

Had a great night celebrating these 6 outstanding women and their contributions to our campus, community, and broader society!
It is important to honor, value, and elevate women of color in our spaces and the vast experiences, knowledge and perspectives that they bring to the table. Tonight we celebrated the extraordinary women of color honored in 16th Annual Outstanding Women of Color Awards. #herstory

Great start to the day- a pic from a Feb 2020 IODP workshop. Since then many of us have been in collaborations for paleo research and DEI work. So appreciative of getting to work alongside these insightful and supportive ECR’s @foramsraqu @nextgengeoldrs

Read about our experiences of #IODP #Exp389 #HawaiianDrownedReefs so far. @GeologyLeics @ECORD_IODP @uk_iodp. We are having a great time coring fossil coral reefs to reconstruct sea level, paleo climate and volcanic history of Hawaii 🪸🏝️🌋

🌊🔬 Excitement abounds as #EXP400 scientists get to carry in our LAST core retrieved off the coast of Northwest Greenland! It's a JR tradition that never gets old. 🚢🌍 This moment is a culmination of hard work and discovery. 🌊⚓️ #ScienceAtSea #IODP #scienceceremony

Incredibly grateful to have attended Dr. Martinez-Cola’s talk on her 2020 paper outlining the three groups BIPOC researchers encounter: collectors, nightlights, allies. Q to ask ourselves, which one are you? bc “you can be sincere, but you can be sincerely wrong”

It is great to join the @ECORD_IODP #Exp389 Hawaiian Drowned Reefs Expedition as a member of the ECORD Science Operator (ESO) Team ecord.org/. 🤞for good weather and lots of fossilised coral 🪸 cores! @GeologyLeics #IODP #MSPs #corals
We say goodbye to Oahu after a brief port call, now heading back towards the big island Hawaii for the next coring site of #Exp389 Hawaiian Drowned Reefs! We now have 2 aboard the ship from @GeologyLeics, Marisa Rydzy and @Andrew_Mc30. #IODP @ECORD_IODP @uk_iodp.
