Be realistic about what matters and why you do what you do. Thanks @VoltarCH for the authentic pivots we need to consider in academia #doingworkthatmatters #selfcare

[Oliver Müller, Ph.D. @VoltarCH]

Yesterday was my last day of working at Google. Perhaps this comes as surprise to you twitter folks, as I haven't widely announced that I left academia to try something new. Here's what I learned in 9 months as a Data Analyst who (temporarily) left Astronomy for Big Tech. 1/n

Renounce hate crimes. Build a better future for us now and generations to come.

[ASHE President @AshePresident]

I am deeply saddened, angry, outraged, & frustrated by the hate crimes and mass shootings that occurred over the past weekend & in everyday life. There were 3 mass shootings, and 33 (and counting) have occurred thus far in May alone. 🧵 (1/14)

@wweisawesome123 Hello. You’ve got this.

[K. Kayon Morgan, PhD @Kayahsiek]

The way the stories are told causes further trauma in our community. Saying that a neighborhood is riddled with crime @NPR is no damn reason to kill people. That has nothing to do with this brutality. Words matter, how it’s framed matters! That’s all! #BlackLivesMatter

@ScotinManc @MrsSarahMullin Agreed. I would make team members read it and we would meet on a regular basis to debrief chapters. Made it real and practical in our work!

Empowerment builds so much more than confidence in students - what are you do differently in the classroom whether K-12 or Higher Ed to EMPOWER students?

[MindShift @MindShiftKQED]

“One of the hardest things I had to do was learn how to change my ‘teacher’ language so that I could encourage and empower students on a daily basis,” says sixth-grade teacher Alyssa Nucaro. @edutopia @smerrill777 https://t.co/clDckaSf0H

DEI right here! Absolutely

[Dr. Monica Cox @DrMonicaCox]

Instead of showing me your diversity statement, show me your hiring data, your discrimination claim stats, your salary tables, your retention numbers, your diversity policies, and your leaders’ public actions against racism.

End performative allyship.

[USC Race and Equity @USCRaceEquity]

"What does race have to do with math education?
Math is cognitive, social, it’s gendered and also racialized.
Students undergo racial mathematical socialization" answers Dr. Martin. #racialliteracy #equityinmathematics
