And... we back! #BeingHumaninSTEM@AmherstCollege This year is the first in which most students who participated in Amherst Uprising have graduated. Here's to honoring those who paved the way for us to have these difficult and profound conversations!
Shared the top 3 things we bring, and that we want to ask of our @AmherstCollege #BeingHumanInSTEM class community on the top and the bottom of the plate, respectively, then collaboratively generated class norms to help maintain these values during difficult conversations

@ValerieforCT Sharing resources like our podcast! We exist to help other grad students get through their training even when they may not have the support at their home institutions. We are also grad student run, so a RT would help push our scicomm project along😃
In 2019, I’m striving for more 🙌🏽 for scientists. I’m convinced that the lack of support is not good for the culture of science and drives many young scientists away.
❓❓How can we do this most effectively❓❓
“company should ‘adapt for difference’ rather than expect employees to fit in with the status quo” ... yes- enough with “we’ve always done it this way” and “figure it out” in any institution that wants to be truly inclusive https://t.co/mcQ1hsBvip
Found my PhD thesis dedication (2003): "To those who could have done a better job than I, but never received the opportunities...may they (one day) receive the opportunities to share their knowledge and their skills in a society w/o prejudices"
15 yrs later, same aspiration
