I am really excited about this outcome! I also want to underscore that this was the outcome of student organizers putting their careers on the line to push MIT to do this, and not newfound compassion from an institute that ignored / encouraged abuse like this for decades.

BLACKADEMIA FREESTYLE! I decided to put together a little anthem to celebrate #BlackInChem Week! Let’s celebrate! Make sure you run this up!! @NOBCChE #BLACKandSTEM #BlackinChemRollCall @ravenscimaven I might need a verse on the remix 👀👀

Dear #BlackinChem, my 12 y.o. self would’ve NEVER believed I chose to be a scientist. She also didn’t realize how much creative potential she possessed being #BlackinOrganic. I had a phenomenal OChem 2 professor @ChemistryatUIC that saw my potential. Let me tell y’all my story.

I’m #BlackinOrganic, I’m a 2nd year PhD candidate, I’m enrolled in @MIT’s Program in Polymers and Soft Matter (PPSM), and my favorite technique is, hands down, preparative gel permeation chromatography (Prep-GPC).

I love designing bottlebrush polymers with flexible backbones (similar to polysulfones) with rigid side chains (like PIMs) in the @SwagerGroup & I'm excited to learn how these architectures and chemistries affect gas separation performance in the @SmithLabMIT. #BlackinOrganic
