Some members in academia suffer from microaggressions leading to decreased performance.

In a #BehindThePaper Interview, we chatted with AJ Hinton @phdgprotein86 about how we can identify and combat microaggressions.

Lastly, Thank you @Frutag33 , @channyskye & @dr_ohsopretty for their thoughtful critique & @channyskye for the figure. I would like to take the time to let everyone know that it is important to give credit where it is due & also it is important to give flowers now! #Uplift

When people ask me what enables me to thrive and stay in science, its times like this month, when I was able to celebrate the accomplishments of two Black women in STEM @channyskye @dr_ohsopretty that are now faculty, that mean so so much.

@UFBME honoring one of our scholars for Women’s History Month!

[UF BME @UFBME]

Celebrating #WomensHistoryMonth with Dr. Brittany Taylor – her research aims to complement & improve the musculoskeletal regenerative and reparative processes using tailored acellular tissue engineering. @BLT_BME #amplifyingBlackvoices #WomenInSTEM

[Dr. Melanie McReynolds @dr_ohsopretty]

Penn State gave me the opportunity as a graduate student to pursue science while being 100% authentically me. Therefore, words can not describe this moment, and how grateful that I am for this full circle experience to return to a place I love and call my second home. #WeAre

[Dr. Melanie McReynolds @dr_ohsopretty]

Excited to join and contribute to the @BMB_PSU, @PSUScience, and @huckinstitutes communities as a faculty member! Thankful to the support and guidance from @HHMINEWS and @BWFUND during this process. The @mcreynolds_lab is now open and looking for members to join!

[Community of Scholars @CommOfScholars]

Congrats to one of our own, Dr. Melanie McReynolds!! We are excited to see the work that comes out of her lab. She is going to change lives through her science and outreach!

[Dr. Melanie McReynolds @dr_ohsopretty]

After making the toughest decision— I am thrilled, humbled, and blessed to announce that I have accepted the position as Dorothy Foehr Huck and J. Lloyd Huck Early Career Chair in Biochemistry and Molcular Biology at the Pennsylvania State University. https://t.co/rpWyH67hKs

[Dr. Melanie McReynolds @dr_ohsopretty]

@mefeyini A5: very similar to my A4 response but I’ll add @CommOfScholars is one of my biggest support groups for this current time.

[Cell Mentor @CellMentor]

Since then, Dr. Hinton helped found @CommOfScholars, who've together provided three additional lists, including the 1,000 inspiring Black scientists list -- a monument to our shared goals to change the way people envision scientists.

[Antentor Othrell Hinton, Jr PhD (A.J. Hinton) @phdgprotein86]

@CellMentor Wow, thank you! I have enjoyed our collaborations. Thank you for giving me and others a voice. I know myself and the @CommOfScholars are very happy about these opportunities to improve academia.

[Society for Black Biomedical Scientists @sbbs_unc]

Dr. Hinton comprised a list of 100 inspiring Black scientists in America and also founded @CommOfScholars , which published a larger list 1000 inspiring Black scientists in America.

[Community of Scholars @CommOfScholars]

Congrats @cterminiPHD 🎉

[Cell Press @CellPressNews]

You've read the list, but now meet @phdgprotein86, organizer of @CommOfScholars and mentor of many.
