Americans are deeply divided—and we’re deeply divided over why we’re deeply divided. To be antiracist is to recognize and challenge racism as the source of the racial divide. To be racist is to deny racism and frame those challenging racism as the source of the racial divide.

@marinadpol @FernandaStanis2 Demand better men - they exist. @medic_cd @m_ferry_ #ICGRxLive

We need men who:

2⃣ Help out in the 2nd shift, if they don’t already

A well done analysis of a study, co-first authored by @DanielMOConnor & @arjundaya21, revealing gender bias in trainee evaluations. Another fine example of dermatologists committed to improving #meded & the house of medicine. @PennMedicine @bwhdermatology @UChicago #dermtwitter
