A lot of people seem to take for granted that, by diversifying STEM, new people will come in and do the same science that's currently being done. This mindset has led many scientists to dismiss these efforts because, in their view, it shouldn't matter *who* is doing the science.
LuAnne Thompson retweeted
So promoting diversity in science is a lot more than just getting fresh faces. It's also about getting fresh perspectives that will ultimately bring us closer to serving the needs of everyone rather than a select few.

This will inevitably lead to shifts in priorities as it relates to funding and the activities we do as professionals.
LuAnne Thompson retweeted
But, the reality is that science is dictated by our collective interests, which on an individual level are shaped by our own experiences and (yes) culture. It follows then that diversifying science will also diversify the type of science we do and broaden the scope of our fields.

I am disappointed that I physically cannot join in the protests. But I am following all of you who are showing up.

House on the SW corner has a list of names. All are being written along the sidewalk.

With that, right now we are specifically talking about anti-Black racism, police brutality, and systematic racism that has been impacting our community since the transatlantic slave trade. This is not a new issue and we cannot pretend that it is. Be specific!
Thank you Heather.
Fellow educators please consider acknowledging the pain your students may be experiencing right now in light of #COVID19, the killing of #GeorgeFloyd and resulting protests. Here's the letter to my chemistry students. Responses have been overwhelming & positive. #BlackLivesMatter

I’m terrified to go outside.
I don’t know what people see when they look at me.
Do they see a strong, resilient, educated woman?
Do they see someone who is their ancestors’ wildest dreams?
