@NuclearAlchemy I feel like Tilly is unbothered by anything, as long as it isn’t people.

[Thelma Madzima, Ph.D @thelma_madzima]

On this day last year I received the devastating email from my institution about the threat on my course evals

It took me months to get over the institutional decision to protect the institution
I couldn’t even socialize

A year later I have found my peace but will NEVER forget

[Thelma Madzima, Ph.D @thelma_madzima]

Still reflecting on @clarajanae talk. One thing that keeps playing in my head is that …

In the plant sciences, we can literally count the number of labs where Black & Indigenous scholars thrive & continue past graduate school.

Those PI’s seldom get the deserved recognition.

@CedarWarman I saw my first one years ago in Albany, OR!

[Dr. Female Former Academic @AcademicFemale]

6 weeks in my industry job and my boss told me I'm performing well.

8 years in academia and nobody ever told me I was performing well.

[Valerie Fraser @vnfraser]

@thelma_madzima So excited for you! Congrats!

[Thelma Madzima, Ph.D @thelma_madzima]

What I’ve witnessed & experienced in the last few days:

A white male in plant science academia can:

1. Insult a Black woman via email

2. Refuse to resign after requests

3. Put out a coached generic apology

4. Receive applause

All in that order

🧵 Here is the complete list of 4 items suggested to me by #IPMB2022 leadership

Notice the use of the word ASK & what I can do for them (labor). 🤦🏾‍♀️

Only once do they mention my potential involvement as a scientist 1/5
