There are SOOO many mentorship programs hosted by institutions downtown but unfortunately, they do NOT target those who need them the most! That's exactly why we founded @StepintoSTEM and created the "Guide to STEM" that lists programs + scholarships for racialized students!
We all understand the importance of mentorship for long term success in life. While we at @uoftmedicine have been fighting to expand mentorship programs for our communities here in Toronto, it seems that others in the Province still see it as a luxury. #BHM #medtwitter #MedEd

'They shot me in my right thigh.. because I was carrying someone with a bullet wound to his head... An officer hit me with his gun and I dropped the man I was carrying. He then stepped away and shot him again in the head and told me 'now you can go bury him'"

I love the @UofT drive and excellence but until we can empower students rather than bully them and pit them against each other, we are not gonna mobilize all of our students' potential. All students experience the "uoft tears" but not all make it through 😥

We were happy to host these scientists-in-the-making and hope to see you again!
Our second event was as amazing as we hoped it would be. It would not have been possible without all the incredible professors at @uoft who graciously allowed us to enter their labs and lectures to learn from them. The participants had an incredible day and learned so much.

It was great hosting bright young minds from @StepintoSTEM and showcasing some of the research happening in #DonnellyCentre. Hope to see you again as colleagues! And a big thank you to all our volunteers who helped with the event!

Representation and access to role models in STEM is so so so important!!! Please volunteer to meet our outstanding attendees - high school students who are mostly from underrepresented minorities. WE NEED YOUR HELP to promote #EDI in #STEM!
Replying to @StepintoSTEM
We want to show students that UofT is not a school that is out of reach for them. We want them to be able to see themselves in these positions, in this classrooms, in these labs! If this matters to you please consider volunteering with us! goo.gl/forms/XmaVoXivBO2Ysg4…

We tell students to be silent (no talking) practically all day long that when it comes time for them to speak up, be it advocating for themselves, public speaking, or simply answering a question, they don’t know how or are too afraid.

Canada’s very own @EugeniaDuodu and her team work hard to eliminate the barriers faced by youth within marginalized communities when engaging with science. As CEO of @VisionsofSci and PHD in Chemistry, Eugenia is a role model for us all.
