Thrilled to discuss advocacy for Black scientists at the Annual Conference opening session, thanks to @microbiologysociety.org! 🎉 Drs. Donovan-Banfield, Pittman, and Taylor presented for co-awardees Drs. Scott and Spriggs. #BlackInMicro is honored to receive the Inaugural EDI Award! 🌟

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Prize 2025 winners from the @blackinmicro.bsky.social are presenting their lecture, "If Not Now, When? Building a Community to Empower Black Microbiologists" at #Microbio25 at 14:05 BST. Read more about their work: microb.io/EDIPrizeWinn...

@blackinmicro.bsky.social thank you for everything you do 👏 Thank you @microbiologysociety.org for introducing the EDI prize, it’s great to see these conversations take place at scientific conferences. If you missed it, check out this blog post: microbiologysociety.org/news/society... #MicroBio25

Had a lovely time being interviewed by a dear friend and colleague @rebee.bsky.social about @blackinmicro.bsky.social winning the inaugural @microbiologysociety.org EDI Prize! Come along to the lecture tomorrow at #Microbio25 to hear about making microbiology more equitable for Black scientists.

Okay some fresh morning brain thoughts on the @asm.org statement: #MicroSky 1. @blackinmicro.bsky.social did SO MUCH to lead this push for ASM to reaffirm their support for diversity and inclusivity in the profession. Please consider donating to this organization: blackinmicrobiology.org/donate/ 🧵

I was pretty critical about @asm.org's anticipatory obedience to the EOs so I want to amplify this statement & point out some positive actions - They admitted they'd made mistakes & apologized to affected individuals and in a town hall - They committed to holding ABRCMS 2025. This is a big 1/

Named a shaper of science herself, Dr. Prescod-Weinstein reminds us that Black people have practiced and shaped science even before we were awarded for it and as our knowledge was exploited during enslavement. Who is a Black shaper of science in your family or local community? #BlackMagicalHistory

This graphic is perfect 😍 @chanda.bsky.social is such a gift. For another shaper of science in my community ima give a shoutout to @kyt-thatsme.bsky.social and @blackinmicro.bsky.social for holding it down on the biology side. 💜

Happy BHM! Celebrating our history and taking pride and joy in the contribution of Black Americans to this society has been and will continue to be a form of resistance

Statement from @blackinmicro.bsky.social that attacks on DEIA are "weak arguments...fueled by the familiar underlying assumption that people from Black, Indigenous, and other marginalized identities cannot be excellent and therefore have not "earned" our place... My story on what sparked this in 🧵

A statement from the BMA Board Members to the BMA Community and Beyond. Additional alt text to follow due to the character limit.

There's a lot of organizations declaring "we're doing this based on legal advice about EOs" going around. As an administrator I always knew that advice is not a mandate. It takes a leader's directive to convert advice to action. Leaders need to be prepared to own that directive AND its consequences.

#RawMilk is trending again so... A 🧵 on Milk Hygiene and Infant Mortality seems necessary. Pasteurization made milk consumption safer and reduced infant mortality in the early 20th century by nearly 50%. #MedSky #IDSky 🧪 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We're reposting to share with our network! Any takers?

Last week #BlackInMicro flew to Pittsburgh, where we handed out swag, met lots of new faces, and had a blast. We're celebrating our first trip to #ABRCMS and are already thinking about ways to connect with our new members!

Are the BlackIn groups around? I need Black Blackity Black things please.
