Being #BlackintheIvory is being required to do unpaid labor: getting colleagues to recognize their anti-blackness, doing the diversity work bc your program won’t hire diverse faculty, mentoring other POC students. Meanwhile your white colleagues get to just focus on their science

Hey #ChemTwitter,
Now is your time to put your money where your mouth is, I want to know how many established white male professors will publically denounce the latest pathetic excuse for an opinion by Tomáš Hudlický published in @angew_chem.

Faculty, the students we teach and mentor are whole people whose whole lives impact their work. The frustration, rage, and fear they are feeling does not evaporate when they walk into the lab or classroom. We cannot be silent and say that addressing racism is not part of our job.

A thread for PIs on supporting Black students:
I cried to my PI yesterday.
I was explaining that I’m trying my best. Even in the midst of all this, I am TRYING to be a good grad student.
I was trying to force myself to write my advancement document all last week. I couldn’t.
