I maintain a research blog where I write about physics, machine learning, and related interests: .

I am active in EDI outreach, both to counter stereotypes as well as to increase awareness of diversity in academia, and look forward to more opportunities to get involved with this. Prior to the pandemic, I spoke about being trans/non-binary in science at the I, Scientist 2019 conference in Berlin, the Lise Meitner Society in T眉bingen, and the Berlin Museum f眉r Naturkunde's series Diverse Science. Most recently, I had the pleasure of speaking at this year's in Utrecht as part of the LGBTQIA+ science showcase.

I also do not see a distinction between outreach and scientific activism, particularly in this age of increasing disinformation and curtailing of basic human rights. As a scientist and human being, I believe in speaking out against those who, e.g., seek to deny or obscure the ongoing climate catastrophe, or use pseudoscience to justify taking life-saving healthcare away from trans people.

The purpose of the meeting -- which included invited speakers associated with officially-designated anti-LGBTQ hate groups SEGM and Genspect -- was to spread disinformation based on the notorious and discredited Cass Review with the goal of taking essential healthcare away from trans youth in the Netherlands, as was recently done in the UK (to immense harm).]}
