I’m Steven, he/him. I’m a former computational astrophysicist, 20 yrs in the field. BS from MIT, 3 MS’s. I’m disabled now, by seizures, still in education. I’m 42, unsurprisingly not in a PhD program 😂 nor seeking one

Me and my mom at LIGO Livingston while I was a graduate student at LSU in 2016ish. Mom blocked out of photo. I am a fat white nonbinary transman with reddish brown hair and a beard and glasses wearing black shorts and a brown tshirt. I’m holding a strap that probably belongs to a camera but I’m not sure. This was a trip that I took my parents on to show them the detector. I worked on software while there so was not on site much but when I was I forgot to take photos. I was there at LIGO Livingston for the announcement of the first detection as a member of the collaboration and that was cool, although I was not on the team who made or analyzed the first discovery. A small selection of my reference books. These are many of my computational ones, though I doubt it’s that well organized My four diplomas. BS Physics MIT 2004 MS Astronomy Ohio State 2006 MS Physics UMN 2013 MS Physics LSU 2017 The diplomas are hard to read in the image but the name on the diploma is my legal/birth name, for all four, because I have not changed my legal name. The diplomas are mounted on a tan wall over a dresser and a desk and a printer Me, Steven Dorsher, in the foreground. Fat nonbinary transman wearing glasses with short reddish brown hair and a beard. Blue and white striped button down shirt with a broadly striped blue and green sweatshirt on top.

No more of this, "let them die!"

It's time to change stuff up
A pink, light blue, rose, blue, white, and dark blue frog castle welcomes you. The sky is full of rose stars, blue hearts, and purple and white dots. Around the castle, there is large kelp like flower plants. The entry is shaped like an abstracted lily. There are multiple stripped patterns on the towers of either rose and pink or blue and light blue with white. Other towers are dotted. Some parts have floral life mending into it. There are ten frogs and one bunny. Four are blue, three are pink, two are red, and one is dark blue. The rabbit is blue. Dark blue bushes separate the floral grasslands from the castle. The grassland is in repeating patterns of colors pink, rose, blue, and purple. The first three sections have flowers: blue, pink, and rose. You can get a custom castle in this size 11x14 for 350. I do offer 8x10s for 250. There are 4 different frogs in the field 4x4 drawings. They are all a combination of white, blue, dark blue, rose, pink, light blue, and purple. All of them have flowers and a frog but are in different colors from the list above. One says, "Trans rights Forever," and another says, "Trans Rights." One of them has a trans flag. You can get one for 15 each or all four for 60 usd. Dm for details. I take venmo and cash app Seven frog castle drawings are next to each other. They are all 2.5x 3.5. The top row are all vertical when the tree below them are all horizontal. Two have more of a blue green pallet, one has a purple background, and four of them have more of a pink and/or rose with blue pallet. All have white and blueish purple ink You can get one for 10. Dm for more details.

These studies would give us data on topics that we currently argue about in part because the data are too sparse. This way we can let prejudice prevail (that was irony for those who don't recognize it). #🌈🎓#transinSTEM #queerinstem #Equity #philsci #science

The coolest postdoc I know is now accepting applications:

🧪🔬THE WITTIG POSTDOC IN FEMINIST BIOLOGY🧪🔬

Our interdisciplinary program @ UW Madison seeks to train the next generation of feminist scientists/scholars of science

Please share widely and read more here: crgw.gws.wisc.edu/scholarships...
Purple and white flyer that contains the the following information: One of the only opportunities of its kind, the Wittig Postdoctoral Fellows Program in Feminist Science offers a fellowship at the intersection of biological/biomedical sciences and feminist science studies. We aim to train the next generation of feminist scientists/feminist science scholars and cultivate an interdisciplinary community of thinkers, practitioners, and advocates. UW Madison has a distinguished history of excellence in these areas and continues to be a dynamic site of research and teaching in feminist science scholarship. Applicants with a new or recent PhD are invited to apply for this two year, fully funded position. We welcome scholars working at the intersection of feminist scholarship and the sciences, including the life sciences, public health, history of science, science and technology studies, or medicine. Fellows will conduct original research mentored by a UW faculty member. This research can be feminist topics within existing research programs in the life sciences (e.g., studies of sex and the variability of sex), implementing feminist methodologies in life science research, or historical, philosophical, artistic, and feminist engagements in life science research. Successful applicants will be paired with a mentor among the UW faculty who has agreed to provide guidance during the fellowship period. For a range of examples of stellar candidates, we’ve included some sample profiles below. The postdoc will also take primary responsibility for planning and executing a feminist science one-day conference. The Wittig postdoc is administered through the Center for Research on Gender & Women (CRGW). For further information, contact the Director of the Center for Research on Gender and Women (CRGW), Christine Garlough, clgarlough@wisc.edu.
