    here's a bit of levity for this section in the form of a nearly year-old article on an interesting example of contemporary nonbinary representation in a pretty unusual place (also judging by more recent tweets i'm pretty sure whoever is running the account here on behalf of the Field Museum is going to be leading the glorious american proletarian revolution in 20 years, but that's probably for another time).

      I hope this gets more votes, what a heart-warming yet also practical and interesting story. Especially the workshopping to help understand the feelings of non-binary people seems really creative...

      I hope this gets more votes, what a heart-warming yet also practical and interesting story. Especially the workshopping to help understand the feelings of non-binary people seems really creative and interesting, and the notion of that this kind of inclusivity can draw more people towards science. Thank you for sharing.

      I know it's probably one of their Communications staff... but in my heart I want it to be Emily Graslie, their Chief Curiosity Correspondant. Her YouTube channel The Brain Scoop is incredible, but some of her videos are definitely not for the squeamish. ;)

      p.s. Emily did a funny little "interview" with Sue last month.
