I was criticized on my NIH F31 grant app last year bc “the elegance of the research plan was from the mentor” & they wanted to see the research plan written in my own words “however immature.” I clearly stated I wrote the research plan in the same application #BlackintheIvory

Being told by a med school professor that not many people who “look like me” get MD/PhDs and he wasn’t sure I was up to the task and wasn’t sure it was valuable to have more URMs and women in academic medicine.

There's 22 Black women in the US with PhDs in Astronomy. #BlackInTheIvory

[Kareem Carr, Ph.D. @kareem_carr]

Being black in academia is constantly seeing people who've excluded you promoting themselves as leaders in inclusion and diversity. It's watching people use the success you achieved in spite of them as evidence that they support black people. #BlackintheIvory

#BlackintheIvory Showing up early for work on my first day as an assistant professor of biology and someone giving me a mop and broom telling me that I had come so early to clean the floors. They thought I was a new custodian. I had on a suit.

@binge_mode what do you think of the idea (not mine) that Snape is an #incel? Someone said it to me and now I can’t unsee it

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

Boomers used to always tell me I’d become a Republican once I got old enough to pay income taxes. Is that still coming or?

@FiedlerAmy @jessicahalem “I’m sorry, I don’t get it ?” (Make them repeat it and repeat it until they finally just say “you know- cause women are stupid”

@zenasharman @jessicahalem I need some other people who are willing to stand in the line of fire with me!
