@taharkaanderson This thread! 🧡🎯🎯

[Taharka Anderson @taharkaanderson]

In other words, professor was explaining that within the medical field and general public, it is easier for "Black genes," "Black bodies," and "Black decision making," to be blamed for racial disparities in health vs. interrogating the overwhelming evidence of medical racism.

[Taharka Anderson @taharkaanderson]

A key takeaway our medical doctor professor would remind us is that when it comes to examining health disparities, "It is seductive to be reductive." This stuck with me ever since and always prompts me to explore the "social determinants" of Black health.

[Taharka Anderson @taharkaanderson]

A theme we found from the enslavement of Africans to the present, is that a decent portion of the medical field is fails to fully account for the ways in which structural inequality and access to resources negatively impacts Black health outcomes.

[Taharka Anderson @taharkaanderson]

In 2020 I took a Race & Medicine course. We had two brilliant professors. One was a Black historian. The other a Black medical doctor. Each week we explored primary and secondary literature that documented historic and contemporary antiblack racism within the medical field.

I studied history at university and took a number of modules on nazi history. When I asked my lecturer what happened to Black Germans, he responded that there “wasn’t really any.” And this is how erasure happens seamlessly in the classroom.

The usual people are out there saying all will be fine soon - we just have to let people get infected and it will be done. Just as they did at previous waves.

Mass prior infection have *not* stopped the Omicron wave. Nor has mass vax. Omicron is not last variant. 15/18

So… I get to end this year achieving one of my major life goals 🎉 I’ve packed up my life in the UK and moved to Vancouver, Canada to take on a cool opportunity as a biotech scientist!

Anyone in Vancouver/BC or Canada in general want to be friends? 👀🤗

Because if you spend 4-8 years getting a PhD, plus have experience directing research projects, your expertise is worth a lot! If academic won't pay these salaries, we should be looking at other options, including industry.

My dad died in the space of three days. I DID NOT GET TO SEE HIM. My life literally hasn’t been the same since. And the man who made it that way was potentially partying and sniffing lines of coke at 10 DOWNING STREET.

(1/7) Manuscript reviewing tips

-Don't review beyond expertise: it can be tempting to accept an invitation from a reputed journal but don't review beyond your expertise as it can be harmful if you miss something which has a significant influence on the results. @AcademicChatter
