“If we do not focus on inclusion & changing institutional culture to address the effects of prejudice, we can increase the number of diverse scientists without creating an equitable scientific community in which all scientists feel welcomed and valued.” https://t.co/fMrpSHYLHz

It is time to shut down math as usual. The math that has been used to limit and harm. By using #MathforJustice, we can do the important work of changing math education to better serve our communities-- to humanize it.

In honor of #ShutDownSTEM, I will be radio silencing my sci comm for today.

I’ll be back tomorrow. In the meantime if you want to support the future of black women in STEM, feel free to donate to @NerdsquadI
$NERDSQUADInc

See y’all tomorrow 😁😁🤓✊🏿

As a Black woman in a STEM community, I fight daily to make our environment an inclusive and welcoming one where students can thrive. I also empower my students to own their STEM spaces. Today will you fight for me and others like me? #Strike4BlackLives

Professors, Graduate School Directors, Dept. Chairs, PIs, Postdocs and white graduate students.

Please take a few minutes to read stories from #BlackintheIvory

We are telling our stories. True allies should be willing to listen.

[500 Women Scientists @500womensci]

Ignoring science's legacy of racism or a wider culture shaped by white supremacy doesn't make scientists "objective".

Our latest, in @sciam. #BlackLivesMatter

Today is Breonna Taylor's birthday. She would have been 27 years old. We are grieving her murder along with the many other black women in our country whose lives have ended due to police brutality and have yet to receive justice. As we grieve, we also can move toward healing.

[MSU Society of Women in Space Exploration @SWISE_Morehead]

Morehead is having a peaceful protest and vigil tomorrow. If you are able to attend please wear a mask. If your feminism isn't intersectional it isn't right. Black lives matter.

[Dr. Daughter, first of my name @CagneyElayna]

Since Breonna was killed in the middle of the night

Today we will discuss campus life for black students after dark..

Oh man hold on tight. 😭 my campus is terrifying after dark

Why you should stop saying “all lives matter,” explained in 9 different ways. https://t.co/9Ql2dtI81r

[NYC 500 WomenSci @500wsNYC]

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
