This perspective written by a Black genetic counseling student is a MUST read! She defines "Black" and "African American", explains her frustration with how these terms are used in medicine, and provides suggestions for how to improve. Check it out:

Meet Bonnie Bassler, 2023 #GairdnerAwards laureate. It's 1994, right after she started her job as Assistant Prof @Princeton. Her discoveries of bacteria communicating were considered "fringe" but Princeton opened the doors for her to transform the field of microbiology. 1/2

With deep sorrow, I must inform colleagues and friends of Dr. Christina Savage @Dr_Savage_Sci that she died yesterday due to complications arising after surgery. Christina's insightful questions during seminars, her creativity, and her quick intellect will be sorely missed.

Thanks for the sticker, @leanntGC!!
