😆Our #TEDTalks is finally here!

Systemic problems require systemic solutions. To save the future of STEM, we need to build #intersectionality into the cultural DNA of who does science, how we fund science, how we communicate science & who it truly serves https://t.co/cMPOEyDnQR

@SkypeScientist @SarahMackAttack @hood_naturalist @SaveNuthatches @WildlifeFound I just started following @wokeSTEM and you should, too. WokeSTEM is a creative response to the lack of diversity, social equity and inclusive cultures for minoritized people in STEM. Not just for women.

Yesterday I met Shawntel (I should say DOCTOR Shawntel as of recently!) who founded @wokeSTEM! If you don't already follow then you're missing out.

Who are you?
What do you study or research?
What institution do you attend?

Use all the syllables!! Don’t be humble!

[Doc McStephins 👩🏾‍🔬💜 @ThePurplePage]

This was an amazing program. I’ll try to pull together all the twitter handles/info of participants. Check out @_STEMedia and https://t.co/dYSGXuphDD for more info, videos, resources! They‘ve collab’d with @wokeSTEM, too! #BLACKandSTEM #marginsci

[Letters to a Pre-Scientist @LettersPreSci]

This awesome TED talk by Shawntel Okonkwo, founder of @wokeSTEM, explains how overlapping forms of discrimination leave some people & perspectives out of STEM. Like wokeSTEM, we're working to de-stigmatize STEM and make it accessible for all. #FollowFriday

So true. Ben Carson was all we had (or knew of) and he was a god-like figure for many of us young African-Americans interested in science and medicine. Here’s to hoping that the next generation has a wider pool of role models.
