I'll say it over and over.

I do not believe in gate keeping.

I do not believe in pulling up the ladder.

I believe in kicking the wall down like the Kool-Aid man, and making room as I go for those who come next.

Just because it was hard for me, doesn't mean it has to be hard for anyone else.

Please share this broadly. It is really important for those outside of science to join in the discussion of the importance of research for public health. @blackbiomechs.bsky.social @amsocbiomech.bsky.social @brianumberger.bsky.social

Wow. I just had a discussion about this very issue last week. One of the underappreciated goals of all the recent anti-DEI propaganda is to make you feel as if those who support DEI efforts are on the fringe. Don't believe the hype.
