A podcast where three highly qualified professionals pick a movie and pick apart the science! Feat. @lolkennon, @michaelcpace, and the elusive @crossongrip!

It’s pride month and help is still needed in the fight against systemic injustice! Donate if you can and share!

[Annika Hansteen-Izora @annikaizora]

Hey y'all! I created a list of Funds (mutual aid, fundraisers,etc) and Creative Ecosystems (collectives, platforms, etc) that support Black folks. The list prioritizes those that support Black trans, queer, and nonbinary folks, and Black women. https://t.co/tZj480RqHT Pls share!

@AbbiHernandez24 @BatmanateePhD We stopped posting new eps, but the back log should still be up and available on all platforms!

[Reel Science Cast @reelsciencecast]

Hello you cool cats, please enjoy our most recent ep on The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, where we cover the history of racism in medicine. We feel good about this one. #PodernFamily #scientistsoftwitter #hela https://t.co/tvBlI25glG

@JeremyHMontoya @PandaBumHah You are a treasure, my friend. Thank you for your continuous support and engagement, and hopefully it won’t be the last you hear of us!

@almayoftherock We appreciate you, and hopefully it won’t be the last you hear of us!

[Reel Science Cast @reelsciencecast]

What’s up everyone! We’re getting together tonight to record an episode on The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks! Please get us some questions and we’ll answer them on air!

[Reel Science Cast @reelsciencecast]

Hey nerds! We’ve got an episode delay today but it should be out later this evening!

[Reel Science Cast @reelsciencecast]

Hilarious now that anyone thought it was a plot hole that after the events of Jurassic Park that people would dare

A) Re-open the park

B) Be eager to visit the re-opened
Park

[Reel Science Cast @reelsciencecast]

HELLO ALL! This week we watched the 1997 film Volcano which was, well... “erupting” 😏 with just pure cinematic brilliance. Hit us up with any questions you have about volcanos, tectonic plates, and the likelihood of everyone in SoCal dying from lava! #PodernFamily #Science

Said to me by white male attendings:

At a med school interview: "I just don't see you becoming a surgeon."
At a residency interview: "Surgery has historically been made up of white males...so how do you think you'll fit in here?"

Make room. #BlackintheIvory

A single coronavirus update snapshot.

Florida.

FL got a lot of praise for how it handled nursing home cases (very well).

Florida pushed opening amid sneering from people who didn't understand its case spread.

Now?

Last 4 days: Most new cases of any 4-days in the pandemic.

Reminder that racism exists in most of our national systems, including healthcare:

Hey! I’m Earyn, a PhD student studying 🦎 & their diets! I started #FindThatLizard to share my passion with others & show the world that Black women exist in the wildlife field. I'm building a YouTube channel to share even more! Please subscribe (https://t.co/cn5DzFZj8W)!🦎💜

[Tiffany Cheing Ho, Ph.D. @TiffanyCheingHo]

Inspired by other faculty throughout the country who are offering their mentorship to black scientists, I’ve created a Google spreadsheet with a list of folks so far I’ve seen on Twitter.

I hope this will be a useful resource for #blackinSTEM

While you’re at it, contact the NIH Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. They’ve released a statement on social injustice in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, but ask what they’re doing to dismantle the systemic racism in our community and fund black scientists. @NIH_EDI

[Reel Science Cast @reelsciencecast]

Hoppe et. al reported in 2019 on the funding disparity between AA/B and white scientists. They showed that AA/B-submitted NIH apps are less likely to be discussed and more poorly scored.

[Reel Science Cast @reelsciencecast]

Contact the @NIH and ask about the disparity in study section reviewers.

Write to the Office of the NIH Director, Francis Collins, along with Principle Deputy Director, Lawrence Tabak. @NIHDirector
