“This is not a woman’s issue, it's a human rights issue" https://t.co/nYkEoHzUr0 Nice article on recent panel w/ @bajanjules27 @ProfAgard & Dr. Deborah McGregor #Representation #Equity #Diversity #Inclusion in #STEM #science #medicine #IWD2019 is #EveryDay
What a great panel discussion @WomeninChemTO! thank-you so much for live-streaming! it was inspiring and resourceful. I felt identified and was touched with quite a few statements from @ImogenRCoePhD "Bring your humanity to the lab and you'd be a better scientist" #whyrepmatters.
A common theme of questions/ comments at #whyrepmatters “I have to keep my lived experiences separate from my professional life in #STEM fields”. Unfortunate, but true. I wish there were more #WomenInSpaceCon type events/ conferences, so people could bring their whole selves.
Dr. Deborah McGregor also states that universities get lots of money, they should be teaching and it's not the responsibility of communities w/o funding to do this #whyrepmatters
Great audience Q: how do caucasian people and #poc men and women share the burden. Where is the line drawn of when the responsibility is of the minority group to teach and the other to learn. #whyrepmatters #WomeninSTEM #EDI
@ProfAgard & @bajanjules27 both emphasize that we want #EDI and the best candidate for the job is NOT mutually exclusive. Next time someone says they want the best as a response to EDI, remind them of this. #whyrepmatters #womeninstem
@ImogenRCoePhD states that this is all burdensome work on minorities and it's the responsibility of the people in charge to do this work. #whyrepmatters #WomenInSTEM #EDI
Dr Daniel’s point on why she can’t say no to serving on search committees or writing reference letters: as one of the only 2 black female faculty, some students don’t have anyone else who gets them to write them a reference letter 🙏🏽 #whyrepmatters

Happy to be attending a panel on representation in STEM. #whyrepmatters @WomeninChemTO @WOCScan @CWICNetwork
As far as I'm concerned, LGBTQIA rep does not exist in a show unless it is actually shown and/or acknowledged on screen. I'm not falling for this shit AGAIN. I've gone through this for years, and it never stops hurting. #VoltronLegendaryQueerbait #WhyRepMatters #LGBTQIA
#WhyRepMatters : that sense of liberation and relief when you see, especially on popular media, as a child, someone who has the same experiences and feelings you do (but try to hide mainly out of fear) and then know that you are not, and never will be, alone.
#WhyRepMatters Lgbt and poc people deserve respect and one of the many ways to achieve that is showing them as something positive and powerful, not as a joke or a mental illness
#WhyRepMatters because the kids from this and next generations need to see themselves on screen and be portrayed as the amazing human beings they will grow to be
#WhyRepMatters Because I had to unlearn homophobia I picked up from media and pop culture in order to begin accepting my own sexuality, but, thanks to even the little progress that has been made, my little brother never learned it in the first place.
@WynonnaEarp #WhyRepMatters there are so many out there who can't be themselves we need to show them that they can be w/out repercussions
@LGBTFansDB @WynonnaEarp @KatBarrell @DominiqueP_C @MelanieScrofano Having positive LGBTQ rep in TV/film/etc gives us something to relate to, something to support and something that empowers us #WhyRepMatters
