Myths are constraining too many parents from talking to their children about racism, and from actively raising their kids to be antiracist. I had to unlearn some of these myths too as a new parent, before writing #AntiracistBaby. Here are some of the myths.
UF PhD student @professionallyp and professor @dellavmosley created @Academics4BSW to foster growth and accountability for non-Black people and healing and wellness for Black people. Their week of free online activities launches #Juneteenth.
Earlier in the week, I learned that #sciencetwitter was inspired by a graphical display of allyship designed by @SammyKatta. Today, you can download a #InThisLabWeBelieve poster for your worm, fly, mouse, genetics, or cell biology lab. https://t.co/AZiG3ZHTzW
Academics for Black Lives is a weeklong personal & professional development initiative for academics to honor the toll of racial trauma on Black people, resist anti-Blackness and white supremacy & facilitate accountability and collective action

Congratulations to @thedrvinson for a successful PhD defense! We're excited to welcome John Vinson as a postdoc, where he'll join a collaboration between UGA and the Gorgas Memorial Institute in Panama, elucidating transmission dynamics of Chagas disease and leishmaniasis.
This is disgraceful @KellyannePolls
COVID-19 is a reference to the discovery of the virus in late 2019, not the 19th strain of this COVID virus.
For f#@%$ sake.

Hi fellow #SciComm -ers 👋🏽
I’m Laura! I’m a wildlife biologist and #HERper 🐍🐢 starting my graduate research at UGA studying alligator ecology and ecotox 🐊 ☣️🔬.
I’m looking forward to connecting with #sciencetwitter during my graduate journey!
I'm recruiting graduate students to work in my lab (see attached). If you're at #SICB2020 and want to chat about Ecoimmunology and positions in my lab, DM me. @SICB_SPDAC
Meet the starry night toad, which was just reintroduced to science thanks to Colombia's indigenous Arhuaco people. The origins of its name reflect the clear night skies above its mountainous home.
