Congrats Abigail! So amazing to see you move through your BSc degree & be recognized for Black excellence. Proud mentor moment watching you grow since high school๐ฅบ
@AnitaCBenoit Such a great point! I didnโt realize this was variable between labs. Also, technically - they must continue the generations of mentorship in order for the lab to grow. Thank you for engaging Dr.Benoit. (That emoji is killing me ๐btw).
Today I asked a post-doc in the lab what non-PI senior lab members receive for supporting undergraduate thesis projects. The answer was nothing! (not even recognition) ๐ญ. I now understand why lab culture is a major determinant of success & efficiency.
Slavery lasted in Canada for about 226 years and it has only been abolished for 188 years. According to my calculations Black people where enslaved in Canada longer than we have been free in Canada. Learn more about the importance of Chloe Cooley in Canadian History #BHM2022
