I am proud to announce that I will be joining @csuci this fall as an Assistant Professor! The Vaughn lab will be coming to you shortly featuring some cool work in chemical education research. #chemed #diversity #NativeinSTEM #SACNAS
UPDATE: David Huerta has been released from the hospital but remains in custody. His words: "We all collectively have to object to this madness because this is not justice. This is injustice." Free David Huerta. Free them ALL.
Some @thevaughnlab shenanigans from this semester! @csuci #STEM #SACNAS
From @csuci’s linked in, one of the research students @thevaughnlab Natalie won a CSU wide research competition! I’m so proud of her!
Come see me talk at this #SACNAS webinar next week about community and mentoring.
📢 Meet the speakers for our upcoming webinar! Join us for webinar #1 of our 3-part series, Building Community: Resources for #Mentoring. Register now: hubs.la/Q03cs10W0
I don’t use this platform to talk about this but my mom has been sick. She’s currently undergoing treatment in preparation for a heart transplant hours from home. I know it’s a difficult time to ask, but even sharing would help. #help #gofundme gofund.me/81aba7c6
Message Ariel if you're interested in submitting a Chemical Education Research STEM Symposia - we'd love to see your submission!
Question out for @SACNAS members and the #ChemEd #CER community. I was thinking about submitting a Chemical Education Research STEM Symposia for the #NDiSTEM2025 Conference. If you have any interest, please hit me up!
This is a huge problem… cutting grants like this as a form of punishing universities is not how we advance science…
Today #NIH is terminating more than $250 million in funding—including more than 400 grants—to Columbia University following directives from the Trump Administration’s Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism. The cancellations are due to Columbia University’s continued inaction…
When you work through the weekend due to upcoming travel but your partner is in Hawaii. #academiclife #proflife #professorlife
When @SACNAS features you and students from @thevaughnlab on their page and you’re just so proud! #sacnas @csuci
Dear #ChemTwitter, My team is conducting a research study on invisible work in chemistry academia and how it impacts scientific and professional advancement. I want to invite you to check out our team's study: umn.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ey… Please feel free to RT! #InvisibleWorkSTEM
Help Us Spread the Word! The 2026 BCCE is coming to the University of Wisconsin–Madison, July 26–30, 2026. Please #retweet and use #BCCE2026 to connect chemistry educators worldwide. Let’s shape the future of #ChemEd together! #chemistry #ChemEdResearch #iteachchem
Has anyone I know ever done a grant writing course? I think I'll have some start up remaining and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for either an online or in person grant writing course. #scienceeducation #STEMEd #CER #sacnas
Good news today! Expect to see a publication coming from @thevaughnlab soon!
Not my usual content, but in this climate, I want to celebrate every win I can. #chemistswholift #gymlife #TikTok
This is powerful. Thank you for standing up for public lands, which belong to all of us. I'm with you.
Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.
How are more people in this country not up in arms over this? We should want our country to have some of the best and brightest in the world so that we can make the world better. I’m so heartbroken for these students.
Just heard that Vanderbilt rescinded all of its PhD offers because of NIH and NSF funding cuts and that Washington University St Louis is claiming that the STEM fields fund all the other depts and will be looking at cutting arts, etc.
Me and the ducklings from @thevaughnlab courtesy of my #TikTok channel. It’s a #FlashbackFriday to the #2024NDiSTEM conference hosted by @SACNAS Excited to come this year! #STEM #CER
It’s time for @SACNAS abstracts! Friendly reminder to get your students writing!
