Very pleased to add to and amplify this very important conversation we're having about racism in science, and what to do about it, in this hot-off-the-presses commentary. Thank you to @NatureHumBehav #BlackInTheIvory #ShutdownSTEM #DiverseBrains nature.com/articles/s41562-0…

I'm thrilled to share this informative piece by my colleague, Dr. Terri Bacow, published in @PsychToday, "3 Factors That Make People Vulnerable to Anxiety Disorders." It's an excellent read! psychologytoday.com/us/blog/… #mentalhealth #MentalHealthMonday
Congratulations @tracymlayne and @Sci_Diversity on this very important contribution to science and DEIA in academia!
Excited to share the Center for Scientific Diversity's newest publication in JCTS - Undue Burden: Black Faculty, COVID-19, and the Racial Justice Movement. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
I'm glad that we're talking more about the problematic underrepresentation of people with disabilities in STEM, and I'm looking forward to pursuing solutions as well! #ISMMSMSTP21DayEquity
Day 12: Read this article by @BerkeleyBlink on underrepresentation of people with disabilities in #STEM #ISMMSMSTP21DayEquity time.com/6241021/stem-educat…

"...this love letter is to Black women in the academy. ... while you may be the only one in your program ... you are not alone. You belong, despite what anyone tells you. You are brilliant. ... do [YOUR] thing" 💃🏾#ISMMSMSTP21DayEquity #BlackGirlMagic insidehighered.com/advice/20…
Day 9: Read “A Love Letter to Black Women in the Academy” by Tia Sherèe Gaynor insidehighered.com/advice/20… #ISMMSMSTP21DayEquity
#ISMMSMSTP21DayEquity Day 8 "extra credit": Read this thread (& article) discussing data showing Black MDs are pushed out of medicine at higher rates than white MDs. Then read a piece by @DrPlattLab on racism in academia, "We exist. We are your peers." nature.com/articles/s41578-0…
This is a great article that highlights a lot of the discrimination and hostile work practices that many Black residents face. I’ll summarize some of the most salient points in a quick thread.

So much of this article resonates. Diversity is not enough; we need equity. It's not enough to invite BIPOC scientists to the table only to serve them rotten food on dirty plates. We must eliminate racism from science. #ISMMSMSTP21DayEquity #BIPOC #racialequity #STEMeducation
Day 6: Read this article by @DrMitoOxPhos in @ScienceMagazine about the exhaustion of being a Black woman in science science.org/content/article/… #ISMMSMSTP21DayEquity
Since I'm familiar with this paper ☺️, today on Day 4 of our #ISMMSMSTP21DayEquity challenge, I'm reading a paper by @SinaiMSTP Director, @taliaswartz on how a diverse physician-scientist pipeline can fight structural racism academic.oup.com/cid/article…
Day 4: @sinaimstp Associate Director describes the use of race as a social construct and not a a biological variable in mental health research
