I came across a very valid comment suggesting that brief fieldwork in Africa does not qualify a non-African as a voice of the continent.
It made me think a lot, and here:
"Ubuntu-inspired Excellence in Science."

After the killing of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2020 @Nature committed to becoming an agent of change, and helping to end discriminatory practices and systemic racism.
This special #RacismInScience issue is part of that commitment

I am still working on identifying how #SwissScience has been/is influenced by discrimination and #ColonialismInScience, not to say #RacismInScience. I am convinced there is room for doing better. These short @NaturePortfolio articles are clearly helping. #BetterScience.
Science is steeped in injustice and exploitation. Without acknowledgement and redress of this legacy, many people from minority ethnic groups have little trust in science and certainly don’t feel welcome in academia.

Chris Jackson’s poignant story is an example of how seniority doesn’t inoculate Black people from racism. Thank you @seis_matters for being so open with me about the institutional gaslighting and harassment you’ve had to endure over the past year. Solidarity ✊🏾 #racisminscience
#racisminscience #racisminnature special issue. @carroll_dr you maybe interested & @geologyclare @jurassicg1rl @science_engage @jane_essex FYI
Proud to be part of this special coverage on Racism in science @Nature. Black, Indigenous and researchers of color share their experiences of racism, institutions strive to redress racist pasts & glimmers of hope for a more inclusive future.

but the snub by the Nobel Physics Prize is still one of the most glaring examples of #racisminscience #wboson
Today I heard that one of my students thinks that she‘s unfit for a career in research. It‘s not because she wouldn‘t make. But because people in academia argue if she even speaks our language when they hear her foreign name. #racisminscience #AcademicTwitter @OpenAcademics
@seis_matters @jimalkhalili #thelifescientific I particularly liked the mature open way you discussed #racisminscience in this interview @TheOxfordDom First @Ri_Science #Xmaslectures by a person of colour. Thanks
