Part of today, I take part in #strike4blacklives #shutdownstem and read up on what concrete steps I can implement, read and listen.

As I very rarely encounter racism against me (though as a German in Austria it happens, even at University) I need to listen, follow and know more.

Today, as part of #Strike4BlackLives, #ShutDownSTEM, I commit to educating myself on the data available on structural racism in academia and in our society, and think about a systems approach needed to demonstrate the consequences of racism in health and education outcomes.
