As a former physics major (before switching to bio) and astrophysics enthusiast, my heart& #39;s been so happy watching ppl learn, engage, and connect with and within #BlackInAstro and do so myself -its been lit! Thank you @That_Astro_Chic for #BlackInAstroWeek! Im excited for 2021!!

I have scoured high and low for people this week to add to my list! However, this list is by no means exhaustive!! I only added folks who ID& #39;d themselves as Black either through their bios or their tweets. If you don& #39;t see someone or yourself and want to be added lmk!

So far I& #39;ve got 17 undergrads, 50 grad students, 6 postdocs, 5 professors, 61 professionals/ researchers/ educators, 7 astronauts & 3 supporting orgs. (there& #39;ve got to be more postdocs & profs out there) #BlackInAstro

In the following tweets imma breakdown everyone into their career stage. I love twitter lists but sometimes I feel like they& #39;re hard to navigate. Like who& #39;s all over there?

There are a mix of y& #39;all here from jr to snr. Y& #39;all are peers in the field, help lift each other up #squad and look @ the postdocs/pros for possible career trajectories!

After this point it seems kinda silly to advice

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß"> but I would say, don& #39;t feel like you can& #39;t still ask for help! Look to the pros for career pivots and connects to new fields
