Science doesn’t exist in a vacuum. As members of society, scientists must speak out and act against the police brutality and systematic racism that are killing Black people. We hope to see you at our reading group. #BlackLivesMatter

@Amber_D_Stubler @thePeerJ White men were the least likely to doubt their scientific aptitude and have lower productivity after receiving an unprofessional review relative to underrepresented groups (Fig A & B below). (Note: women and NB people were grouped as marginalized genders in STEM)

“Marie Curie is one of the most famous women in science. But her first page on Wikipedia was shared with her husband — until someone pointed out that, perhaps, her scientific contributions were notable enough to warrant her own biography.” https://t.co/G5tR3R3ueH
