HSTEM @AmherstCollege Joins the @AstroKateF and the Follette Lab in #ShutDownSTEM #ShutDownAcademia - check out her awesome resources linked here: beinghumaninstem.com/2/post/2020/06…
HSTEM stands in solidarity with #blacklifematters
And... we back! #BeingHumaninSTEM @AmherstCollege This year is the first in which most students who participated in Amherst Uprising have graduated. Here's to honoring those who paved the way for us to have these difficult and profound conversations!
And... we back! #BeingHumaninSTEM @AmherstCollege This year is the first in which most students who participated in Amherst Uprising have graduated. Here's to honoring those who paved the way for us to have these difficult and profound conversations!
Shared the top 3 things we bring, and that we want to ask of our @AmherstCollege #BeingHumanInSTEM class community on the top and the bottom of the plate, respectively, then collaboratively generated class norms to help maintain these values during difficult conversations
@ValerieforCT Sharing resources like our podcast! We exist to help other grad students get through their training even when they may not have the support at their home institutions. We are also grad student run, so a RT would help push our scicomm project along😃
In 2019, I’m striving for more 🙌🏽 for scientists. I’m convinced that the lack of support is not good for the culture of science and drives many young scientists away. ❓❓How can we do this most effectively❓❓
After a networking brunch, we’re learning about the history of @HumansInSTEM (and @yalediversitea) from Simon Mochrie #humansinSTEM
“company should ‘adapt for difference’ rather than expect employees to fit in with the status quo” ... yes- enough with “we’ve always done it this way” and “figure it out” in any institution that wants to be truly inclusive
“company should ‘adapt for difference’ rather than expect employees to fit in with the status quo” ... yes- enough with “we’ve always done it this way” and “figure it out” in any institution that wants to be truly inclusive
Found my PhD thesis dedication (2003): "To those who could have done a better job than I, but never received the opportunities...may they (one day) receive the opportunities to share their knowledge and their skills in a society w/o prejudices" 15 yrs later, same aspiration

I texted this to my sister and then realized it’s a pretty good tweet 😂. She doubts herself as a budding physicist. “I’ve met a lot of scientists. They mostly aren’t geniuses. They just enjoy persisting at a single problem way longer than most people would. That’s the secret.”
