[Jatia Mills @DrMills24]

Its #BINW23 people! 🗣️ My name is Jatia Mills, HBCU graduate and neuroimmunology PhD candidate. Graduating May 2024 and looking to continue my career as a researcher. Thank you @BlackInNeuro for always representing and putting on for us! #BlackInNeuroRollCall #BlackInNeuroWeek

[Black in Robotics @BlackInRobotics]

Have you heard about the #BlackInRobotics summer workshop series? We have 4 and maybe more coming. It's not too late to fill your summer and fall with great learning opportunities. Python, Arduino, Raspberry PI Pico, AI and more! https://t.co/P0v3XxiboD Thanks to our sponsors.

[Angel E. Collins 🌈 @eduEboni]

Love to see this, congrats to @tyana_scott! NBD at VT was great this year and I loved every moment of getting to participate.

[BlackBiomechanists @BlackBiomechs]

Our 2023 Black Biomechanists Outreach Through National @BiomechanicsDay Grant Program winners are making #BlackBiomxHistory. Awardees hosted NBD events in the US & Nigeria promoting #biomechanics in Black communities! Biomechanics is fun & for everyone! Congrats to our winners👏🏾

Affirmative action gutted.

Black, Ethnic, LGBTQ+ & Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies attacked.

The fall of Roe.

Banning books.

Banning ideologies coined by Black Feminists.

And y’all want Black academics to go on as business as usual?

Nah.

[Angel E. Collins 🌈 @eduEboni]

In my opinion, we continue to support each other and form community no matter where we go. We put our resources where we are a priority for prosperity; support HBCUs and minority serving institutions.

We are in this together! Much love, keep being great everyone.

My stomach dropped when I saw the SCOTUS decision on affirmative action. Yes, we knew it was going to happen but DAMN, it hits hard to know that’s the law of the land now. Press in and keep doing the work folks.

[VT BGSO @BGSOVT]

Thank you @vt_bci for allowing us to collaborate with you all during BCI week !! We had loads of fun working with and mentoring students within our community to get excited about VT and SCIENCE 🧪 #letsgohokies #BlackExcellence

[Angel E. Collins 🌈 @eduEboni]

So excited for another session of #vtbci2023 today with @BGSOVT! I’ll be talking to students about mechanics around the intersection of engineering and transgender health. #PhD #blackgradstudent #transhealth #blackphd

[Amina Yonis, PhD @DrAminaYonis]

My PhD research was published in Nature as first name author.

Only 8% of submitted research papers are accepted each week.

Here's how I got in:

Don’t wait to register for th 2023 HBCU Alumni Pathways to NIH!

[Angel E. Collins 🌈 @eduEboni]

@DrMills24 Every event honestly, agreed 🙃

Having the fruits of your labor right in front of you is so sweet 🍓🍓.

New project has taken off and a new experiment is nerve racking yet exciting!

[Granata Lab @GranataLab]

So excited to have graduate students from underrepresented groups lead a Q&A for high school students attending #NBD2023 and talk about their research @BiomechanicsDay @BEAMvt @VTEngineering

[Tyana Scott @tyana_scott]

It was an absolute pleasure working alongside @theresa_libera and the @GranataLab to plan out National #Biomechanics Day!! We had over 300 participants and several labs showing off their cool research😎 @BiomechanicsDay

[Angel E. Collins 🌈 @eduEboni]

And it's still loading 😂 standby 🤎

[Angel E. Collins 🌈 @eduEboni]

Only gets better the more I learn.
Manuscript Loading!
Ohh a pun that I will claim as intentional 😋
