Replying to @stella_immanuel
What’s changed? We stopped ignoring people. That’s what changed. Autistic people didn’t suddenly appear—they were misdiagnosed, institutionalized, or dismissed as “weird” or “difficult.” Gender-diverse people didn’t just materialize—they were closeted, shamed, or erased. People with celiac disease or food allergies weren’t “tougher” in your day—they were just sick, undiagnosed, and told to suffer in silence. And as for vegans? That’s just people making conscious ethical or dietary choices—something you clearly find threatening for reasons that say more about you than them. You’re not highlighting a societal collapse. You’re advertising the era of medical neglect, social repression, and anti-intellectualism you came from. What’s changed is that we’re listening now—to science, to data, and to the people your generation silenced. And judging by this tweet, you’re still not ready to.

Disclaimer, as it just happened to my postdoc: - Fellowships can change your employment status at the university. This includes foundation fellowships, and not just federal. -change of employment status often means loss of benefits. They may help the lab but hurt you. Careful.
