56: Breaking the Binary: Teaching Repetitive DNA Biology and STEM Equity as a Trans Scientist
Ask Flora Funga Podcast anything OR Leave a Review
This week we chat with Robin Aguilar, a PhD candidate in the Beliveau and Noble Labs at UW Genome Sciences. Their research is focused around repetitive DNA biology, microscopy, and genomic technology development. They play a big role in justice-centered learning spaces in STEM for minoritized and marginalized students. We discuss topics around their article, "Breaking the binary by coming out as a trans scientist," as well as TigerFISH a software tool they developed to help perform imaging of satellite DNA in single cells. Other topics include:
- FOOD is SCIENCE
- Having STEM support is key
- They were working on the human genome
- TigerFISH
- How to link this with flora and funga
- What does Robin's typical day look like?
- How does being a trans scientist impact you in your field?
- The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist
- Biggest struggle vs excitement
- Go listen to Ep 20: Lichenology can be Both Scientific and Artistic and How They're Underrated with Steven and Lili
