The #US "has become more racially segregated according to a [report that] argues, racial residential segregation is “the deep root cause” of systemic racial #inequality - bc. where you live determines everything. Your proximity to jobs. The quality of your environment. Where you go to school, whether you’re surveilled/ harassed by the police".

@ScottSoCal I've been trying to get as high as those people since 1976. Must have been much better reefer back then.

As opposed to regular orgies

A couple folks asked why I share bios & links about women & underrepresented groups in science instead of “everyone.”

Well, we already hear a lot about famous men like Einstein & Darwin. But there are so many wonderful stories of other amazing individuals who have made significant contributions in #science #tech & beyond but haven’t been celebrated as widely.

And when we don’t see ourselves in the #history of STEM, we may not recognize we are capable of great achievements too.
