#BlackChemistsWeek2021 flyer for the week with Alt text 🤗. Let’s retweet this one instead, friends

So hyped that it’s #BlackChemistsWeek2021! I’m a rising 2nd yr PhD Yale Chemistry. My sets are #BlackInChem, #BlackInPhysChem,#BlackInCompChem,#BlackInExpChem. Don’t do much wet lab chemistry, so here’s a pic of my office where I run my calculations #BlackInChemRollCall.

Hello everyone! My name is Brea. I’m a rising fourth year PhD candidate Emory University. My work focuses on nucleic-acid mediated inhibition and enhancement of enzymes. #BlackinChemRollCall #BlackInChem #Blackinbiological #BlackChemistsWeek2021

A bit late to the role call but here I am! My name is Sierra, and I’m a rising second year at Emory Chemistry PhD program. I work with peptide nucleic acids and other nucleic acid applications. #BlackChemistsWeek2021 #BlackInChem #BlackInChemRollCall

Dear Black folks, your skepticism is so valid and justified in a country that has a history of experimenting on and dismissing us. Find a trusted Black scientist and ask any question you have about mRNA vaccination. We see y’all and we get it. 💗

Small wins - 1) @brea_manuel3 did her first solo bacterial transformation, & the colonies looked splendid! 2) gr8 coworker vibes

Congrats to the newest Heemstra Lab PhD candidates! 🎉

Thank you! I’m excited to share some of the first work I’ve done as a member of Heemstra Lab

This is really nice work, and important for the community. We need more of these kinds of "negative results" to be published - it saves other researchers from re-discovering the same issues over and over!

I did a thing!! Please check out my article detailing a program I designed to increase student and underrepresented voices in falcuty hiring.

So excited an honored today!!!

Congratulations to Heemstra Lab member Sierra for passing her SYQE! 🎉🎉🎉

Go friend go!!

Most scientists from the Global South are not able to afford Open Access (OA). An OA article can equal 3 or 4 of our monthly salaries or the full yearly amount of one of our grants. This discriminatory situation creates a double-standard in science dissemination.

A short thread on disability in chemistry and some food for thought. Again, I hate to be the one writing this. I'd much rather someone else did it so I could just retweet, but here we are... (1/12)

Check out our new paper Modulating Aptamer Affinities and Specificities by Guanosine-to-Inosine Substitutions by @brea_manuel3 , Sierra , and Dr. Aimee Sanford, PhD in ACS Analytical Chemistry Journals! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Self-regenerating membranes are now possible and 🔥🔥! Check out our latest work, now on ChemRxiv! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi… If you happen to be in #S22MRS come checkout my poster over this work in today's poster session EN07.05 at 5 pm HST. Materials Research Society (MRS)

Thank you! I’m happy to share my first 1st author paper of grad school with the community!
