An unfiltered conversation about the lived experiences of current and post-grad men and women in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)
Good to see an important conversation on @BBCBreakfast this morning - spotlighting @BlackinCancer's work from @Siggs28, Magda and Randy at @CRUK_CI, followed by @NaserTurabi on the sofa talking about the complexity of cancer inequalities and the work @CR_UK is doing to overcome these.
#BiCconf24 starts at @NIH today! It has been an honor for @CD_AACR to contribute to the journey of this amazing group - read the most recent @BlackinCancer piece here: https://t.co/K6gu1Xg6Qz
The illuminating breast cancer survivor and thriver @Sherry_Hughes reminding us that we have to advocate for ourselves in the clinic. Almost 5 years after her diagnosis, she is out here changing laws in Ohio for patient screening! #BICConf24@BlackinCancer
Almost time to step in stage! Giving a keynote after THE John Carpten, and him receiving the honor of a special holiday named in his honor in his hometown... is hard to follow, but I'm EXCITED!!
We are thrilled to have @FredHutch on board as a platinum sponsor for #BiCconf24. Be sure to stop by their stall over the next 2 days to learn about all the incredible opportunities they have to offer!🤩

In honor of #Juneteenth, @phdgprotein86 discusses the lack of recognition for Black scientists, disparities in funding rates, and the history of racism in science and research. In @CBSNews. https://t.co/gxoRv3TzPk
Happy Juneteenth!
A year ago, I shared my perspective on the significance of Juneteenth in STEMM using my voice in Cell. The experiences and truths I shared remain relevant today and hopefully will continue to resonate for years to come.
Stop hosting sessions where #BIPOC pour out their hearts about the org’s diversity issues and folks in orgs just gather to collect enough info to cover their tails.
There should be action items or timelines.
Make the conversations real.
