1000 Black scientists in Neuro-related fields! When we started this community 3 years ago, ‘we can’t find any Black neuroscientists…’ was a phrase we were used to hearing. That excuse won’t fly anymore! 👁️👁️ #BINW23 #BlackInNeuro #NeuroInclusion

t’s day 3️⃣ of #BINW23 and we will be exploring ongoing racism in neuro-related fields and discussing ways to dismantle it. NeuroRacism is all about the ways racism within our society can be perpetuated through neuroscience. This year we build on this premise with 2 events 🖤👏🏽

I'll relax once I submit this paper. I'll relax once I submit my thesis. I'll relax once I defend my thesis. I'll relax after I get a post-doc. Damn! I guess I'll have to relax after I get a permanent position. No. The future always gets busier. Schedule proper breaks NOW. 💛

After seeing multiple medical professionals down-play the role racism played in the death of #DrSusanMoore, I have been thinking of how to describe the logistics of how racism manifests in medicine. One way is what I will, in this thread, call "cumulative de-prioritization." 1/

Men, If you feel inadequate around brilliant and accomplished women, maybe it's because you are, in fact, inadequate.

Earlier this year many PIs asked “what can we do?” I wrote this article in response. It’s based on positive support I’ve received and what I know others are wishing they did. Hopefully people still asking because your trainees still need the support 💛 rdcu.be/b8zko
