Marine scientist and educator striving to bring attention to scientists from underrepresented communities, because we do science (and other things) too!

"We are a country built on racism and genocide and the origins of museums, whether you believe it or not, are rooted in that." @greggdeal dropping some truths at this morning's keynote. #AAM2023 #MusuemsandRace

[Dr. K @Sci_in_Color]

It's great that social science is being used to inform the design of content, but are we really still not disaggregating results?!?! #AAM2023 #MuseumsandRace

[Dr. K @Sci_in_Color]

Happy to represent @MuseumsandRace again at this year's #AAM2023. #MuseumsandRace

[Dr. K @Sci_in_Color]

Had a great time representing @Official_BWEEMS and serving as the closing keynote at #POSea2022 Conference today to share the importance of creating our own narratives as POSea. Thanks for having me and for sharing your Origin Stories!

Good insights from Michael Bobbitt. But how often does this need to be said? #AAM2022

[Timothy Rhue II @timrhueii]

"If your museum is predominantly white, it was designed that way ... The people designing it lacked the perspectives to design it in a diverse way" #AAM2022 Not said in an accusatory way, just a statement of fact arguing for the importance of change in current museum approaches.

[Dr. K @Sci_in_Color]

Woo! This is some truth here!! Thanks for verbalizing this @jp_exhibitsvcs

[Dr. K @Sci_in_Color]

What stands out from #AAM2022's opening session: the DEAI work is very externally focused w/little self-reflection/accountability on @AAMers part. How can you ask museums to make a commitment when you haven't done the work yourself?? #MuseumsandRace #TruthBeforeReconciliation

[Dr. K @Sci_in_Color]

Join us from 12:00-2:00 in the #AAM2022 Networking Lounge for the @MuseumsandRace Take Over. #MuseumsandRace #TruthandReconciliation

[Timothy Rhue II @timrhueii]

There's no official @MuseumsandRace Lounge at #AAM2022 this year, but we can change that! Takeover of the AAM Networking Lounge from 12-2 today for an unofficial gathering! Left when you get escalators.

[Museums & Race @MuseumsandRace]

Our Transformation & Justice Lounge is not a part of #AAM2022 . We're incredibly sad not to be able to hold space for folks this year, and here's a little explainer on why: https://t.co/3eMbXcS8bV

[Kayleigh Bryant-Greenwell @KayleighBinDC]

Alright, #AAM2022 Tweeps, while we're thinking about relevance & prof dev, here's some real talk about white supremacy culture embedded in the operations of our professional associations, including @aamers, via an of-the-moment case study w/ @EmpatheticMuse. A 🧵1/

So excited to have my research featured by @InsideNatGeo!

I ask my self these questions everytime I start a new job....😒

[Dr. K @Sci_in_Color]

Just completed our @aaslh session on the @MuseumsandRace Report Card with @jp_exhibitsvcs. Lots of honest conversation and great feedback! #MusuemsandRace #TruthBeforeReconciliation #AASLH2021

[Dr. K @Sci_in_Color]

I definitely have a couple in mind....

[Timothy Rhue II @timrhueii]

@gretchjenn Oooh... if I could wipe a couple select institutions away... #OnTruthTelling #MuseumsAndRace

[Dr. K @Sci_in_Color]

@LevonWilliams @timrhueii @MuseumsandRace Yes! So much if this work is uncomfortable and acknowledging that AND continuing to move forward is a part of the process. #OnTruthTelling #MuseumsandRace

[Dr. K @Sci_in_Color]

@timrhueii @MuseumsandRace A1: This is so true for everyone, but particularly for those who have the opportunity to leverage their privilege/power. #OnTruthTelling #MuseumsandRace

[Dr. K @Sci_in_Color]

Simone Biles taking a step back at the #Olympics reminds me of the convo at @Official_BWEEMS July career panel about how we as Black Women often push thru when struggling, often to the detriment of our mental health (while our orgs benefit 😒). Glad she put herself 1st. #BWEEMS

[Dr. K @Sci_in_Color]

Had the opportunity to present during the @NatlMarineEd Conference last week on how to use a needs assessment to develop marine conservation ed programs. #NMEA #NMEA2021 #ScienceinColor

[Dr. K @Sci_in_Color]

Excited to have my first solo-authored paper accepted for publication, but exhausted from all the BS I had to wade through to get to this point. #wedosciencetoo #blackmarinescientist https://t.co/TN8aRx0I76
