Wonderful article that captures what motivates me to investigate visual perception. “How do we know what’s real? And once we know the extent of our brain’s limits, how do we live with more humility — and think with greater care about our perceptions?” vox.com/science-and-health/2…

We created a repository of graduate student mentors in neuroscience (and soon mentors in a range of life sciences) for URM undergrads at BU, URMs applying to GPN, and neuro undergrads! In collab w @microbiomarisol, @luuisdr, and @BU_NGSO bugradmentors.wordpress.com/

We don’t really have anything else but process. Everything else is a relation to some exterior— audience, market, the world, whoever. Process is the steady and solid ground of creation.

Myths are constraining too many parents from talking to their children about racism, and from actively raising their kids to be antiracist. I had to unlearn some of these myths too as a new parent, before writing #AntiracistBaby. Here are some of the myths.
Thank you @ruha9 for plugging Science & Tech Studies (STS) during “Experiences of Black STEM in the Ivory”🙏🏽! My STS background fuels my imposter syndrome as a neuro PhD student, but your words help me dispel those feelings.

Historical literacy and STEM are and should be inseparable, especially in DEI convos aiming for justice. “20 odd years of very weak affirmative action policies have nothing to compare to hundreds of years of true affirmative action, true racial preference.“ – @ruha9

HUGE NEWS-the govt has rescinded its ICE directive AKA #studentban
Congrats to the advocates & thanks to the university who quickly took legal action to oppose this
All those resources mobilized across the country, all those students' lives clouded w/ anxiety & despair. Cruelty
