Idk who needs to hear this but quantitative methodologies are not “unbiased” or “objective”.

Everything from the measures you choose to include or NOT include, as well as the variables/constructs you control for (or choose to not pay attention to), expose your biases.

If we’re serious about opening academia to non-white folks, we need to start paying undergrad RAs. Very few can afford to volunteer 15+ hours per week with a full courseload and (rapidly rising) rent payments. Statements of solidarity are nice, but don’t open the door.

What advice would you give to someone who will finish his PhD in a few months and wants to make a postdoc, but doesn't know where or how? @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #phdchat #phdlife

[DeColonizeSTEM @DecolonizeSTEM]

@jennachiapas Best of luck! I hope you find quality resources to help your study.
