You guys !! Pls buy a tote to help support travel grants for students to attend the 2020 Reclaiming STEM workshops. They’re also made by @wardofplants mother so you’d be supporting small businesses too, it’s a win win win !! #scicomm #scipol

I will be doing a "Syke a scientist" session next week w 5/6th grade ESL students. I have never done this before and would welcome any tips from those w experience! I know to show a bunch of pictures and keep it simple but what else should I keep in mind? #scicomm #inclusion

Thanks for asking me to join the DEI committee/teaching you about DEI. I am busy creating a conference for minorities, writing a paper on conference experiences of minorities, and writing two papers on how best to teach minorities. Ask somebody else, perhaps a white male.

Listen to #ReclaimingSTEM board member Tamara Marcus on NPR talk about #BlackLivesMatter & their 7 demands for change to the chief of police in Cedar Rapids! Their activism lead the council to listen to their demands 🙌🏽

I COULD NOT explain what I am feeling better than what these two humans have shared. While I am so thankful to occupy this space of activism, a part of me longs to “just be a scientist.” But this is all bigger than me, && I will fight for as long as it is needed. #blackandstem

Here's a petition for ICE to rescind their decision against F-1 students petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/allow… We should also push our universities to ask for the same.

Today I am immensely grateful for the strength and leadership shown by our indigenous brothers and sisters. You have taught us so much in your fight for liberation, and I will fight for you, too. Thank you.

IDK who needs to hear this but, Black folks standing in hours long lines to vote isn’t a victory, it’s voter suppression and intentional sabotaging of the system.
