Ok I have a good one - One time I was meant to go on school trip and because I submitted my form a few minutes late, my teacher said I couldn’t go. My dad calls the destination we are visiting and plans a VIP tour. He drives me to school, and we wait for the bus to pull out…

Loving these moments from K. Taylor, PhD and Dr. Ariangela J. Kozik during today’s presentation! We are so proud of your accomplishments. Congratulations, co-recipients of ASM’s 2023 William A. Hinton Award #BlackInMicro Week Co-Founders #BMAPresident #BMAVicePresident

Our mission is to amplify the work of Black scientists 👨🏿‍🔬🧑🏾‍🔬 & strengthen communities of support 🤝. This is our 1st time launching #BlackInMicro #InPerson & we want to learn from your experience! Take the survey today: blackinmicrobiology.org/the-black-agen…

An extreme heat event currently ripping through Mexico has been described as "hands down the worst in the country's history." Children have been killed, athletes at the country's national games hospitalised and wild birds have died en masse as temperatures approach 50C (122F) 🧵

I get that #Juneteenth is a relatively new holiday for most people in the US. And the non-Blacks in my area are tripping a bit about how to approach it. So here are a few tips.

From voting to getting a Costco card, a person can do a lot after 18 years. For my 18th wedding anniversary, we can do a lot more than when we started too. Blessed that we have grown together, loved deeper, and are fully committed to knowing how committed we are to each other.

Today is not about posting a black square and simply moving on. As Black folks celebrate Juneteenth today, non-Black folks can commemorate through COMMITMENT and ACTION. (1/11) 🧵

When I was in my PhD program I threw parties at my house. I am also fine.

Respectfully, Juneteenth is about enslaved people finding out years later that were free. We are now legally free but not free of the reverberating impact of slavery and the work we do at BMA (which is not just met and Ari) is about mitigating that impact.

We are two people, who are part of a much larger movement in a long line of movements to be fully free from the impacts of slavery. On this day we think of them and their labor and their sacrifices.

In honor of Juneteenth, we are highlighting an article penned by #BMA member Allie Igwe allie igwe for the American Society of Microbiology. Access the article here: tinyurl.com/53tayxfk #BlackInMicro #BMA partners with #ASM

It’s #WorldMicrobiomeDay ! Celebrating the contributions of the largely invisible but mighty realm of organisms with whom we share this planet. The microbiome has a lot to teach us about community care, reciprocity, resilience, and restoration.

#BMA introduces our Rising Stars in #Microbiology! Every month, we will feature early career #BlackInMicro scientists who are making big waves in the field. Our first Black Microbiologists Association (BlackInMicro) Rising Star is our very own Janiece Glover! Take a look at what she's been doing so far. #Amplify

We are excited to host The Black Agenda at ASV2024 this year with American Society for Virology! Happening now: “Supporting & Advocating for Black Virologists” The room is packed to full capacity! #BlackInMicro

I had a great time yesterday, especially all the inspiring conversations with scientists from around the world - feeling very lucky to call myself a scientist! 🤩🥰 #ASV2024 has been awesome so far 👌🏽

Monday, I was able to attend American Society for Virology 2024 & assist in facilitating a workshop on behalf of Black Microbiologists Association (BlackInMicro) focusing on advocating & supporting black virologists. I worked with Ninecia Scott, and Jessica Watts to create a great event. Shout out to the rest of the BMA Board!

Special shout out to our BMA@ASV organizing team. We can’t wait to see where @blackinmicro goes next! #BlackInMicro does #ASV2024
