My name is Jolvan Morris, ABD; I’m an Environmental Policy Scientist studying Gulf Coast shrimping policies. On the weekends I’m a Biker Chick and all year long I’m naturally New Orleans! This picture is from my family’s Mardi Gras bike ride.

I’m Jen and I have a PhD in microbiology from Washington University in St. Louis, where I currently work as a staff scientist specializing in infectious disease research. My alter ego, Biohazard Betty, skates for the Arch Rival Roller Girls. Photo courtesy of Bob Dunnell.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
