"Many of these authors would agree that raising awareness about racism is not a means in itself of correcting injustice," writes @BU_Tweets sociologist Saida Grundy.

I agree. Justice requires awareness. Awareness doesn't necessarily lead to justice. https://t.co/NPlMRwtZ6o

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Do not become bitter or hostile. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. We will find a way to make a way out of no way. #goodtrouble- Rep John Lewis

@DisabledStem @ChronInvisSTEM - thank you for your leadership and compassion. DMs are also open. “You are not alone” is the most powerful message for me during hard days

[DisabledInSTEM @DisabledStem]

I don’t want anyone to feel as alone as I have #DisabledInSTEM

If you need someone to chat with, bounce ideas off of, vent to, or support you, always feel free to reach out to me.

Building a community starts with supporting each other.

[Miranda van Tilburg @DrvanTilburg]

Your mitochondria are like a gas tank. If the tank is full, you can do what ever you need, even when you require extra energy/gas (eg, exercising, being ill). But if your tank is close to empty, your body does not have enough left in the gas tank. You get sick and some may die.

[Miranda van Tilburg @DrvanTilburg]

We hypothesized that chronic pain patients have a gas tank that is not completely full (healthy) nor almost empty (disease). Hence, most of the time they have enough energy to function. But when more energy is required (stress on body), the gas tank gets closer to empty.

[Miranda van Tilburg @DrvanTilburg]

Very proud of this study implicating the role of mitochondrial DNA in Fibromyalgia. Let me explain what we found and what it may mean. https://t.co/mhx2REFYC3
