Interesting - the notion of Latines assimilating as a way of making change from within. I get the notion of being visible in spaces outside your own affinity group. But assimilation?? 🤔 #APHA2023

@MarissaKVelarde @Dra_Wallace I low key feel like assimilation is the opposite of the point

NIH learning to (and teaching others to) think about gender more holistically. #datajustice #apha2023

Just wanted to bump up for anyone who's interested but hasn't reached out--I'm still hoping to bring in another #highered PhD student to join the team (there's even a fab new lab acronym in the works). A couple of weeks left to apply at @PittEducation. Hit me up to chat!

@Dra_Wallace SAME! The notion of being a spy feels so at odds with the goal of visibility. There’s something about it that feels like complicity with tokenization. It has me reflecting on differences in professional presence across generations right now…

A lot of the questions about why Google is reluctant to deploy AI systems and Microsoft is not is answered by these two charts.

Advertising is everything to Google, and it is not clear how to integrate LLMs and ads. Microsoft does a lot of things that LLMs help. HT @VisualCap

ICYMI: As of today, ALL hospitals in Gaza are no longer operational. Not. A. Single. One.

Name one modern day War/Conflict where public officials made a choice to let NICU babies die like this to further negotiations. Elderly patients. People with disabilities in need of medical care.

What depravity.

Thread for those that think health professionals are above racism or that we live in a post-racial society.

[Uju 🇳🇬 @WrittenbyUju_]

Today, I expressed to a doctor that she doesn't listen to me because I'm a black woman. She looked at me shocked, and asked me why would I say that.

I replied, explaining that I approached her with tiredness in my eyes, indicating that something was wrong with me.
