Setting intentions for the new year instead of resolutions is probably the better way to go. Here are my thoughts on how I’m doing it + why: https://t.co/Al1YfVdARu

@DtheNP Definitely check out @HealthInHerHue and what @AshleeWisdom is doing.

Also, as others have tweeted, let's be clear about *who* conducted this study. The official name of the study is the The U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) Syphilis Study at Tuskegee, not the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, and it should be referred to as such.

One of my mentees is a recent Biology grad working in a busy lab — interested in career pathways at the intersection of life sciences/clinical trials, tech and Black representation/community impact.

Thoughts on resources, programs or people to connect him to?

[André Blackman @mindofandre]

@ZinaSarif I'm late on this but would love to connect you to the mentee, Zina! Let me know how best to make that happen -- love the work you're doing.

@tiffanyiwaddell My thoughts exactly.

[André Blackman @mindofandre]

@jasminecrowe Oh no…I’m so sorry, Jasmine.

[André Blackman @mindofandre]

Make space for the unknown. Create space for the joy.

The unknown is going to happen regardless. Be intentional about joyous experiences in your life.

Have a great week, folks.

@hellonecole Yep. 1Password has been the lifesaver for me for the couple of years.

This is your reminder to apply for that job. Don’t self-eliminate.

I talk to too many people who say they didn’t apply because they didn’t perfectly match all of the requirements.

You won't get the interview if you don't apply.
