@pintsworld.bsky.social Great turnout for #pint26 Day 2 at @tirnanog and @fairbar in Aarhus Had an absolute blast diving into #IDPs and the origins of life plus a little sneak peek into my work on biomolecular #condensates! Fantastic questions, great energy, and so much curiosity #SciComm

Take a step back from your own experience and hardships. It's not about you, but about the next generation of academics, many of whom want to lead diverse and inclusive teams. 6/7

"If you belong to a marginalized group, just work twice as hard 'cause it worked for me" amplifies the systemic issues which cause discrimination. Imagine someone has a migration background and a chronic illness, then the person just needs to work 4 times as hard? 4/7

Please don't deny the experience of discrimination or the fact that there are differences of people. I think if you do this, EDI topics are not for you. The differences are not imagined, they do exist. Denial and "you can do it mentality" are outdated ways of addressing these challenges. 3/7

This is Mrs. Florence Bell, the first nurse to go to the Royal Veterinary College of London. This is a cigarette card from my collection and in the info about her on the back it says “the more she sees of humans, the better she likes animals”. 1938.

I'm wandering all over the place but - absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. If we have reason to believe our behavior has caused or compounded harm, we should evaluate and address that. Otherwise—we do not have to process horror in public, and shouldn't demand that of others.

This is one of my favorite resources that I'm sharing with students so far. From Slow Factory. There are so many ways we can contribute. Our activism doesn't have to look like their activism. #HigherEd #FacDev #ClimateAction
