Today I wanted to share a preprint describing our labs work on #SARSCoV2 antibodies, work that I’ve spent many long days and nights to get done the last three weeks, but the joy I should have in sharing my work is gone, it’s been sucked out of me, given what’s going on...
The last few days have been tough and like the rest of the black community, I’m tired, my family is tired, my friends are tired, my colleagues are tired and we as a whole are tired about this extra burden we all have to share when events like this past week continue to happen..
Today we should’ve been celebrating science and American ingenuity watching the @NASA launch, but today seemed like we were taken back 60 yrs ago, with space launches on one channel, and protesters in the street because of racial injustices on another...
I sat there and enjoyed the launch with my two young sons, and watched their excitement of seeing astronauts off into space, but in the back of my mind was the events of this week, knowing some day they will enter a world where they will be racially profiled, like I have been
Discriminated against, like I have been, made to feel like they don’t belong or aren’t as smart, like I have, been mistaken as the servant or help at events, like I have, told only reason you got this or that is because you are black not because you earned it, like I have
I wish they didn’t have to grow up into a world like that, but until we all come together and decide enough is enough, we need to change for a better future, I’m afraid my fears/anxiety about their future will someday be their reality

I’ll tweet about my work someday, but today I choose to tweet about #GeorgeFlyod #AhmaudArbery and all the other brothers we’ve lost for no reason at all. #BlackLivesMatter
