@bartmartbart There's lots more on our website if you are curious! But yeah-- a day of reflection isn't going to do much of anything. Our co-leads at Particles for Justice phrase it nicely in their last paragraph here: particlesforjustice.org

@bartmartbart Hey Bart! Our call was not for self-reflection-- the call for the day was for white people and NBPOC to spend the day constructing a concrete, actionable plan to address racism in their lives/institutions, & to hold space for Black academic & STEM folks to prioritize their needs

I am #BlackInSTEM, and I honestly don't know what #ShutDownSTEM and this one day of self-reflection is supposed to accomplish. I've been reflecting for 20 years. It's not that hard. Let us publish in top journals. Nominate us for awards. Invite us to speak at conferences.

Yes! Today was just one day to give Black folks a day off, and white & non-Black POC folks a head start on making their anti-racism plan. Tomorrow, you get to continue fighting racism, along side your usual work... ...which is what Black people do every day.

Scientists and journals are mounting a 24-hour solidarity strike. "The idea is disrupt the system, at least for a day," said physicist Brian Nord. “We need to rethink what scientific collaborations should look like. Black people need a seat at the table.” nyti.ms/30sxj5B

For #ShutDownSTEM, I delivered a talk and led a discussion on institutionalized racism and ways to be better allies to our marginalized colleagues and students [for the Martin group at @uiowachem]. It was entirely last minute, but very fulfilling to put this together!

A lot of Black people have shared their stories with #BlackintheIvory, but some people are not in a safe place to do so publicly. If you would like to share your story anonymously, please send us a DM and we will tweet it in a thread here. #ShutDownSTEM #ShutDownAcademia

@strike4BLM "The strike is not a “day off” for non-Black scientists, but a day to engage in academia’s core mission to build a better society for everyone." @shutdownstem "It is not enough to say that you stand in solidarity. We need you to be accountable. We need your actions."
