    I normally limit this space to science. However, recent tragic events & the pandemic are painfully reemphasizing systemic racism & inequities that threaten the lives & well-being of many of us, our trainees, & loved ones. We all have to speak up & demand change.

    I'd like the convo on diversity in STEM to shift away from "diverse teams, do better" & towards equity. Acknowledge political/social/economic/cultural barriers have kept URMs from these spaces. We aren't "tools" for better science. We are ppl w/ dreams, goals, & desires.

    This is a powerful comment on the need to challenge our stereotypes during . When the model minority myth assumes Asian Americans are thriving by $ and educational degree, this ignores the real disparities impacting Pacific Islanders, Southeast Asians, etc.

    MYTH #2: Asian Americans are high earners A 2016 Pew study found Asian Americans were the most economically divided racial or ethnic group in the U.S. — with Asian Americans in the top 10th of the income distribution making 10.7 times more than those in the bottom 10th.
