Seeing Anderson Cooper refer to Dr. Corbett as Ms. -- while she& #39;s LEADING OUR VACCINE EFFORT and SITTING IN FRONT OF DIPLOMA*S* -- should really make white academics rethink their belief that these discussions about calling people "Dr." don& #39;t have a gendered and racial component. https://twitter.com/AC360/status/1250228871892545537">https://twitter.com/AC360/sta...
Mr. @andersoncooper had a Black woman scientist on his show, sitting there talking to him, and he still couldn& #39;t completely believe in her existence.

That& #39;s being #BlackandSTEM.
In his defense . . . a lot of Black studies scholars have a difficult time imagining we exist in 2020 and not just some imaginary future
Y& #39;all. Please don& #39;t tag Dr. Corbett in this thread. She experienced the disrespect. She doesn& #39;t need to be party to every conversation about it. She doesn& #39;t need to relive it every time you feel like weighing in. I tagged her in the post celebrating her. Tag her to celebrate her.
