Remember when we said equity would be at the heart of @wellcometrust strategy? Well today we launch our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion goals that bring that statement to life: tinyurl.com/4cv2n4wn & tinyurl.com/235bwrmz

I wrote a short response to a timely article in @JME_BMJ on epistemic justice in bioethics—"Where is knowledge from the global South?" My response, inspired by the words of Toni Morrison, is titled—"Knowledge from the global South is in the global South" jme.bmj.com/content/early/…

even the most experienced EDI expert and so is priced in accordance with other exec level roles. Mind you, it also requires a visionary and compassionate thinker who can lead a complex portfolio of activities. If this sounds like you, please apply!

Delighted & proud to see the call open for the next round @sangerinstitute @EqualityScience Excellence Fellowships for Black researchers sanger.ac.uk/about/equality… Thank you to everyone involved in making this happen, internal & external partners & colleagues @wellcometrust

We aspire to be compassionate leaders, combining effective leadership skills with compassion. This definition from @sherrillknezel seems apt in a leadership context: "Compassion is when we stand in awe of what someone has to deal with, instead of judgement of how they carry it".

Are you deeply committed to driving equity, diversity and inclusion? If you have a particular interest in stretching organisations to do better #EDI work there is still time to apply for an Associate role for @wellcometrust's new advisory function. farrah-nazir.medium.com/announcing-our…

Racism poses public health threat to millions worldwide, finds report theguardian.com/science/2022/d…

Learn about how racism in health care and the science underpinning it harms people & contributes “collective trauma”. Read this special issue or at least the editorial & the series the exec summary by @DJDevakumar @ProfIAbubakar @KuiMuraya @ParadiesYin @GeordanShannon../2

.@RaceandHealth + @TheLancet have released a special issue on advancing racial equity in science, medicine, and global health. I'm really lucky to have contributed to this issue with magnificent co-authors @MissChisomo and @iruka_okeke. (1/4)

There's so much we can learn from the many funders, who, like @wellcometrust, are exploring new ways to increase the diversity of who gets awarded funding. From our research, we created a library to help address inequities in funding 👇 wellcome.org/news/we-create…

Really excited to share this super piece of work by colleagues and ⁦@sciencepractice⁩. Lots of great ideas for #researchonresearch and #researchculture in this pack. We created a library to help address inequities in funding | News | Wellcome wellcome.org/news/we-create…

.@wellcometrust, like many other funders, has differential funding success rates linked to researcher identity and this must change. We created a resource for funders to use to see change with respect to ED+I in their funding processes and outcomes. wellcome.org/news/we-create…

The scarlet fever rash is historically described as bright red, but on people of color this can clearly be inaccurate; the rash may simply be flesh colored along with the characteristic sandpapery feel and appearance. #Pediatrics #MedTwitter #ScarletFever
