#ShutDownSTEM

[Graduate Women in Science @GWISci]

GWIS unequivocally supports the Black Lives Matter movement. We encourage you to join in the #ShutDownSTEM initiative tomorrow, Weds., June 10th.

#ShutDownSTEM is a day to observe, learn, reflect, and plan how you can become an anti-racist ally and elicit change in the academy.

[UAZ Women in Medicine and Science-Tucson @UAZWIMSTucson]

Looking to get involved? #BLM #BlackLivesMatter
Saturday, 6/6 from 3-6pm
Location: @uarizona Administrative Bldg. Wear a mask, stay home if sick.

"One either allows racial inequities to persevere—as a racist—or confronts racial inequities—as an antiracist. There is no in-between safe space of ‘not racist.’ The claim of ‘not racist’ neutrality is a mask for racism."

— Ibram X. Kendi (@DrIbram), How to Be an Antiracist

An important read about #STEM #women. "Beyond research resources, studies suggest that women, especially those of color, may face barriers to inclusion in informal professional networks, particularly on their own campuses."

Women have been key players in vaccine development for a long time! Meet Isabel Morgan and Dorothy Horstmann, two female scientists whose research on infectious disease paved the way for the polio vaccine.

The scientist who first discovered coronaviruses was, you guessed it, a woman! June Almeida (who later got her PhD) “pioneered a method which better visualised viruses by using antibodies to aggregate them.” #NeedHerScience ⁦#WIMS https://t.co/ROFleOxXC7
