Good morning #ScienceTwitter! As many know, there was a UNH professor that pretended to be a WOC in STEM with the handle @/piney_the... I don't have a large following so I need some help in getting this around ... a 🧵

Such a great discussion panel by the #NOBCChE leadership at #NOBCChE2020. Very refreshing to see leaders in the field *directly* address the issues burdening Black scientists at this time. Powerful opening to the @NOBCChE National conference. #BlackinChem

“the Department of Energy has asked all the national labs, which are funded by taxpayer dollars, to suspend their diversity, equity, and inclusion training programs”

received this from Lawrence Berkeley National lab yesterday, where I work.

this is Trump’s America.

Absolutely astounded to hear Stanford’s lack of commitment to the protection of sexual assault/harassment survivors during the pandemic. Thank you @mldauber for speaking up for the students and bringing attention to another glaring issue in the #StanfordCompact. #StanfordRTH

“The university must outline a clear path to departmentalization for AAAS in the next five years. This will guarantee the ability to support undergrad and graduate students and grant academic autonomy, which has direct bearing on student success.” #StanfordRTH #blackstudiesmatter

[Stanford BGSA @StanfordBGSA]

“Despite the rich history of AAAS at Stanford, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2019, AAAS remains underfunded and understaffed.” #StanfordRTH #blackstudiesmatters

[The Stanford Daily @StanfordDaily]

The president's June message on anti-racism asks the Black members of the Stanford community to share their experiences and recommendations.

They've been sharing for weeks.

I'm joining my colleague @TaylorJonesIV in striking as a graduate researcher in Stanford Chemistry. I'm nervous and scared about this because we don't have the backing of a large coalition or union. But I'm not going to let him do this alone.

[Taylor Jones @TaylorJonesIV]

I don’t know what happens next, when/how this’ll end, or how much this will affect my scientific career. What I do know is that I can’t let this continue for years more without ever doing something. If not me, then who? If not now, then when?

[Taylor Jones @TaylorJonesIV]

I know this’ll probably make me sound crazy, but what the hell. Yesterday I began striking as a graduate researcher at Stanford Chemistry. 1/n

[Taylor Jones @TaylorJonesIV]

I choose to make the only decision that it appears a graduate student has, and that is to withhold the intellect that they seem to claim ownership over.
