"More than half of college physics majors express interest in teaching high school, but... 'Students sense that faculty don’t consider teaching a good career,'... the attitude among physics faculty [is] “Why would you waste your talents on teaching?” https://t.co/p4pAnoomjR
Xandria Quichocho (they/he/she,@quarkchocho) is a Black & CHamoru, bisexual, non-binary Physics Education Researcher @MSU. They are currently working @moveboldly, focusing on the development of physics identity in LGBTQ+ women and women of color.
If you use legislation to create a system that protects ALL white kids from simply having to LEARN the history that Black and indigenous people actually endured…
Then aren’t you PROVING that CRT was correct this whole time?

Texas House passed extreme gerrymandered GOP state House map at 3:30 am last night. Democracy quite literally dying in dark
Whites 40% population but control 59% districts
Hispanics 39% of population but control 20% districts
Blacks 12% of population but control 2.7% districts
Congrats!! @ArleneMKnowles has been recognized as @APSphysics fellow.
Citation: For decades of advocacy, mentorship, and exemplary work to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion in physics, so that marginalized students can thrive. https://t.co/ObroiTNWjA
You DO NOT want to miss this event! @BlackinPhysics is HONORED to have @IBJIYONGI discuss her phenomenal book The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey Into Dark Matter, Spacetime, and Dreams Deferred with our community. Register NOW: https://t.co/lAOF0vteEe
TX leaders went too far w/their priorities this year. Taking away women's reproductive freedom, allowing permitless carry, partisan gerrymandering, keeping $1 billion surplus @ TEA from going to schools, not fixing the grid. Today's about needing new leadership.

Physicists don't all work in labs or teach physics, although many do, and love their jobs. See the diversity of #physics by exploring the jobs of physicists like Albin Gonzalez and Ellen Ochoa (pictured): https://t.co/fvO70sqeb6 #HispanicHeritageMonth
