@aaberhe reminds us that we need to have an open and honest discussion about race and racism in our institutions!
@seis_matters suggests that we should explicitly consider race in risk assessment!

@rachelxbernard reminds us that we should be recruiting from a broad base of scientists. Not all geoscientists start with a Geoscience major!
Many stories about how people assume that #BlackGeoscientists have not earned their place at a school/job etc. These need to stop! Aggressive questioning like this, gaslighting, and microaggressions are damaging, call them out!
@seis_matters is trying not to swear
Investigate the culture and climate of a program before attending! @rachelxbernard highlights how a good group (supportive advisors and lab mates) can make all the difference! @aaberhe Agrees!
@ShereenaDyer suggests that we need to teach our mentees how to investigate a program!

White folxs, we need to listen and call out the microaggressions!
@drdyerpietras reminds us that just because you haven& #39;t seen it (or choose not to see it) doesn& #39;t mean it isn& #39;t damaging our students and colleagues!
THOSE OF US WITH POWER AND PRIVILEGE NEED TO SPEAK UP!!!

@seis_matters says put money behind initiatives for change, make sure every committee has 1) deliverables and 2) a timeline!
Great question from @GilesPalaeoLab: What can white people do to support our Black colleagues without taking up too much space?
1) Speak out when you see a wrong
2) Believe people and support them when they are harmed (do not gaslight them!)
3) Black people are not a monolith...

so be sure to find out what your colleagues want you to do.
4) @fracturedfola reminds us: Don& #39;t gaslighting people.
5) @drdyerpietras get to know your Black colleagues! Let& #39;s grab a coffee!
