Yo! Just in case it isn't clear: when people say "COVID-19 is disproportionately killing communities of color", they do NOT mean that Black + brown people are biologically more at risk/more sensitive to the virus.

When people said doing a PhD would be difficult I was thinking more along the lines of "challenging math to be learned" rather than "the culture and bureaucracy of academia will demean you and wear you down day after day for 5+ years"

On this 2nd day of #BlackHistoryMonth I want to celebrate Dr. James Townsel, a brilliant scientist who devoted his life to diversifying the neurosciences. Jim co-led initiatives like the NIH-funded Diversity Program in Neuroscience and SPINES program at the MBL 🧠 where I met him in '09. RIP Jim

This afternoon I gave stroke lecture to 2nd year class of med students. At the end 2 Habesha young women come 2 me and say “this is our 1st time 2 see a Habesha teaching us” their excitement was priceless! My goal is I don’t remain ‘a first’ but inspire many to follow after me 💜
