Very pleased to add to and amplify this very important conversation we're having about racism in science, and what to do about it, in this hot-off-the-presses commentary. Thank you to @NatureHumBehav #BlackInTheIvory #ShutdownSTEM #DiverseBrains nature.com/articles/s41562-0…

🚨Apparently all NIH Study Sections have been suspended indefinitely.
For those who don’t know, this means there won’t be any review of grants submitted to NIH
Depending on how long this goes on for, this could lead to an interruption in billions in research funding.

#ISMMSMSTP21DayEquity Day 8 "extra credit": Read this thread (& article) discussing data showing Black MDs are pushed out of medicine at higher rates than white MDs. Then read a piece by @DrPlattLab on racism in academia, "We exist. We are your peers." nature.com/articles/s41578-0…
This is a great article that highlights a lot of the discrimination and hostile work practices that many Black residents face. I’ll summarize some of the most salient points in a quick thread.
