Looking for BIPOC GCs who took the Board Exam since 8/2017 to share their experiences of preparing for/taking exam. No published data about BIPOC experiences yet, so we need your voices! Learn more about @AlexandraSigh's U of MN research at https://t.co/DMLvrxFMQC #GCChat

"Ignoring race will not equalize a society that is racially unequal," Justice Sotomayor writes in her dissent.

"What was true in the 1860s, and again in 1954, is true today: Equality requires acknowledgment of inequality."

Exciting research study opportunity! The University of MN is looking for girls & women ages 14-25 with a family history of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) to share their experiences to improve medical care for girls & women with X-ALD in the future. https://t.co/fFaEJoVC0U

Each one of us has a race, and each one is good. I am saying this obvious thing because when members of my race are injured, insulted, and murdered, I have to pay attention so I can be safe. I want you to be safe, too. Grieve, rest, and also resist.

My face immediately after my last standardized patient and we broke for feedback. The joy and relief after finishing one of the last assignments for the semester. I wasn’t thinking yet about how I’d have to watch this back 😅. Actor identity protected #gcchat

Hey #GCChat WWYD if a parent asked you to do carrier testing for their healthy kid? Would aspects of the condition make a difference? What arguments might sway you?
