Very pleased to add to and amplify this very important conversation we're having about racism in science, and what to do about it, in this hot-off-the-presses commentary. Thank you to @NatureHumBehav #BlackInTheIvory #ShutdownSTEM #DiverseBrains nature.com/articles/s4156…

🚨Apparently all NIH Study Sections have been suspended indefinitely. For those who don’t know, this means there won’t be any review of grants submitted to NIH Depending on how long this goes on for, this could lead to an interruption in billions in research funding.
