Since it is #FF, in honor of #BlackInAstro I want to share my list of the awesome Black astronomers, physicists and ppl who do spacey stuff https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken"> that I have had the honor to learn from this week! (breakdown of list later in the thread) https://twitter.com/i/lists/1275969986423656456?s=20">https://twitter.com/i/lists/1...
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?https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen"> Hopefully you can use this info to more easily hire/recruit/connect with people #iwalkedsoyoucanrun https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">

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!

Pros: don& #39;t let anyone make you feel like you& #39;re not a scientist bc its not your full-time thing rn or ever was. Scientists: don& #39;t let pros discount your other skills just bc your focus is research! 1/5
