LOVE being faculty at @MIT this semester for a class on #dataanalytics & #datascience. I tend to PM my mentees, especially women and #blackexcellence to start to prepare questions to ask. Too often people stay silent. Speak up. Never be embarrassed to show #curiosity.
Listening right now to mid-semester progress reports from teams and am feeling like such a proud #datascience #BigData #bigdataanalytics momma. Bear cubs doing good (well AND good in world)
LOVE that this is a space within @MIT that focuses on #SDoH and #equity.

Literally right now, hearing about a study on #socialmedia chatter as a driver of vaccines hesitancy driven by #Twitter - start postulate "cause/effect" by an incident that happens within days after a vaccine - like ppl automatically assume a death is "caused" by vaccine
Meanwhile #Twitter, at same time, ppl saying: perimenopausal menses changes "caused" by a single dose of the #vaccine. You can't make this stuff up. When you are a person who seeks out information in multiple spaces, you have these experiences that are almost comical... #COVID19
..it would be comical if spreading #vaccine #disinformation manufacturing fear via illogical "this must be a side effect"
is a matter of life/death both by actual spread of #COVID19 #pandemic + secondary impacts thru long COVID, economic impacts, #mentalhealth impacts etc etc

Grateful to my mother for encouraging me to go back to school to do @mit. I was feeling SO stuck. Repeatedly was able to rise into what should be positions of power then realizing those with power, privilege, resources seek to maintain that NOT change things to promote #equity
Also realized: was adapted to a culture of shame in #medicine/ #healthcare as well as society in general
Shame is a form of social control to avoid speaking clearly on problems, wrong priorities, misallocation of resources, poor outcomes
Shame -> silence https://academicmedicineblog.org/breaking-the-silence-around-shame-in-medical-education/

As we see more women, BIPOC, LGBTQ, those with disabilities in #healthcare #medicine, we will have additional lenses, lived experiences, questions.
#Quality requires curiosity, #transparency, reporting. Thing is too often error is perceived as "shaming" http://www.pmlive.com/blogs/smart_thinking/archive/2013/november/to_name_and_shame_substandard_healthcare_514356

Yet, without naming things, how can we be accurate or how can we improve? It's easy to focus only on "patriarchy" but the issue is imbalance. You need men AND women and every gender in between. You need neurotypical and neurodivergent, you need abled and disabled.
We NEED varied perspectives & interdisciplinary work. We also need a common language= #data
"roadblock to progress with data & #analytics is poor #dataliteracy, rooted in ineffective #communication across a wide range of increasingly diverse stakeholders" https://www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/gartner-keynote-do-you-speak-data/

Do I get "momma grizzly" on #quality? Totes. Spot on if you identify me as protecting #dataintegrity. I've seen #disinformation harm. It is those most marginalized & least empowered who get harmed.
Garbage in, garbage out is not advancing knowledge. Make the effort for quality.

Unapologetically committed to quality #safety #accuracy #dataintegrity 
In fact, if you map the trajectory of my career that is why I pursued certain paths or left certain roles
Why I admire @timnitGebru
Why I am carefully considering right next step https://www.wired.com/story/timnit-gebru-exit-google-exposes-crisis-in-ai/

My tour through #compliance is what allowed me to advance into a manager role, matches what we know about roles to which women are hired.
I sought to advance #Quality
BUT, reality role: control others per rules written by patriarchy, be a female face. https://www.law.com/corpcounsel/2020/02/03/number-of-women-in-compliance-is-growing-like-wildfire/

#publichealth =answering to women like Dr. Birx, whom I've tweeted on at length
They model #leadership #womeninleadership with #Compliance
= only what men will allow them to say or do
= just a female face on patriarchy but maybe worse as it "reassures" https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1243583231200542721?s=20

Notice which #womeninleadership #womeninmedicine do NOT comply, resign when they get pushed too far from delivering #quality #safety for #populationhealth. These tend to be WOC who have lived experience of the very barriers they are hired to address. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/04/nyregion/oxiris-barbot-health-commissioner-resigns.html
I invite you to reflect on who has the biggest issues with me tweeting "too much"
=keyboard warriors who do not appear to have either lived experience and/or professional commitment to advancing #equity, #QualityTime
=No #accountability on real outcomes (including life/death)

True, I could totally save myself the creeps, stalkers, harassers, mis-labeling snarkers
I could be "discrete", be known for sophisticated coiffure & Hermes scarves. It's what women do who serve, not disrupt, patriarchy
Patriarchy, btw, harms MEN as much as women
I disrupt

Women who "know no bounds" are often labeled in a variety of terms that imply they are anti-social, deranged, dangerous, etc, etc. This goes back to the theme in this thread of shaming to control to serve patriarchy and pit the "good" woman vs the "bad" https://twitter.com/usnehal/status/1353499259115630592?s=20
