Many Black scientists fall through the cracks during their postdoc; I almost did myself. Last month, 70+ @natblackpostdoc members met for the 1st time to strengthen our community.🙏🏾RT to help us reach new members/sponsors so we can continue to grow no matter the political climate

[Frankie D Heyward, Ph.D. @FrankieDHeyward]

Biggest thanks to the ever-inspirational Dr. Cassandra Extavour (@redmakeda) for not only giving a stirring @natblackpostdoc Leadership Symposium Keynote speech, but also for leading an insightful session on Digital Productivity and Team Management tools 👏🏾🙏🏾💐

[Frankie D Heyward, Ph.D. @FrankieDHeyward]

A major highlight of the @natblackpostdoc Leadership Symposium occurred when 8 incredible Black Postdoctoral Association (BPA) leadership teams came together to discuss ways to further support our communities ❤️‍🔥
