Editing together something a bit different for my client @bsneuroendo as part of their Journal's upcoming #Insulin100 Special Issue... Featuring @rebeccyannie @ProlactinGuy @zane_andrews1
In my intro neuroscience class this semester I provided a reading assignment about systemic racism in neuroscience. I’m sharing here a very long thread about this experience, what I learned & some of the responses from students. There were approximately 98 students enrolled. 1/13

The dream is to create a premier platform for #AfricansInSTEM to showcase their science in their own voice. And also create visible role models for young aspiring scientist by showing people the diversity of STEM from people who LOOK like them. 6/n.

What do you think? Are you more likely to commit to a training programme if you have paid for it yourself?
Amazing

Congratulations @GilesYeo ! I feel incredibly lucky to work with you at @bsneuroendo . Great to see recognition not just for excellent research helping to destigmatise body weight but for communication and engagement too.
Some personal news folks. I have appointed an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) in the Queen’s Birthday 2020 Honours List, for services to ‘Research and Communication and Engagement’. Who'da thought eh?

Thinking of all my friends in the Caucasian Community at this difficult time. Remember that all the suspicious looks you'll inevitably get over the coming weeks come from a place of ignorance, not hate. I know these extremists don't represent your proud, peaceful culture ❤️
