Responding to anti-Black racism in our academic communities contemplativemammoth.com/2020/06/01/res… via @JacquelynGill

Many domestic violence survivors have no choice but to shelter in place with their abusers. As a result, counsellors & service providers say the need for 'silent services' is growing. v UNFPA | #COVID19 unwo.men/hPDH50zVlB9

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.

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

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

"We cannot, we must not, muffle the screams of those... who can only scream. They have no power, they have no money, they have no influence... their politicians have betrayed them, the police kill them. They must scream. So let us scream with them." Rev. Jeffrey @ #seattleprotest

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.

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.

This will inevitably lead to shifts in priorities as it relates to funding and the activities we do as professionals.

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.
