2020 - The academic Strike for Black Lives and #ShutDownSTEM day began a mass shutdown of academia that took place around the world.
The main goals of the strike and the shut down were to reflect upon anti-Black racism in academia and STEM and to commit to actions to eradicate it.

the @moscalab will be closed on wednesday, june 10th to support #shutdownstem. i invite my @JeffersonUniv colleagues to join. let's think deeply about how to make science and society better. it will be difficult. it will be uncomfortable. let's get started. let's make it count.

So, I'm spending a chunk of #ShutDownSTEM searching for orgs who I feel I could connect to to build that pipeline. I'd love to crowdsource this; we could all use this list. I've started a google sheet over here - please feel free to contribute: https://bit.ly/2UvQ4BE /end

As part of #ShutDownSTEM & #ShutDownAcademia today, I want to think about building pipelines - that outreach is not enough, but bringing students into training opportunities & labs with mentors can have a more lasting impact for individuals. 2/

tl;dr As part of #ShutDownSTEM, I'd like to make longterm connections to Black ocean sci/data sci/env sci training orgs (eg, @Blackgirlsdive) to help build pipelines. I'm making a list of orgs, & would love to share/crowdsource the list to make it better - https://bit.ly/2UvQ4BE

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.

I will be participating in the #Shutdownstem and #Shutdownacademia strikes tomorrow. Both STEM and Academia both have a long way to go to be inclusive. I'll be spending the day reading and further educating myself on how to be antiracist. I invite you to join me.
