Fellow scientists, take note. And scientific racism is still among us, and growing stronger again. Don’t be naive. Take your responsibility to call it out when you see it. Work against it. https://twitter.com/abebab/status/1315220320127680512
Don’t be afraid to critical look at your ‘scientific heroes’ and how their bigoted beliefs still live on today and implicitly shape your views and the bigoted questions you think are respectable. https://twitter.com/abebab/status/1312330978887639040
