June 10th 2020: Shut Down For A Day, Build Better Tomorrows! Join the #Strike4BlackLives #ShutDownSTEM #ShutDownAcademia
As so many of us pause today for important reflection as part of #ShutDownSTEM, aka #ShutDownAcademia, aka #Strike4BlackLives, my thoughts go to those before me in academia, including my beloved mother.

In honor of #ShutDownSTEM #Strike4BlackLives I took part of the day to watch 13th on Netflix (they have created a Black Lives Matter list of films). If you haven't watched it already, I highly recommend it. You'll likely cry at least once, curse out loud at least 10 times, and

Today, as part of #Strike4BlackLives, #ShutDownSTEM, I commit to educating myself on the data available on structural racism in academia and in our society, and think about a systems approach needed to demonstrate the consequences of racism in health and education outcomes.

I am striking today - to educate myself and develop a plan for how I can work to stop racial injustice. Learn more here: #ShutDownAcademia #ShutDownSTEM #Strike4BlackLives
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.
Today I am participating in #ShutDownSTEM and #Strike4BlackLives. I am educating myself to be a better ally and advocate of inclusive & diverse science. Science is political and Black live matter. https://www.shutdownstem.com/
As part of the movement to #ShutDownSTEM, we will not be originating any content on social media. Instead, we will be amplifying minority voices & retweeting #ShutDownSTEM

Tomorrow, I'll be joining my colleagues in academia worldwide and #Strike4BlackLives with @Botany_nerd to raise awareness and education and start a profound change to eradicate anti-Black racism in academia and STEM.

Tomorrow, I will #ShutDownAcademia, #ShutDownSTEM, and #Strike4BlackLives.
I will dedicate the day to educating myself, making a personal plan for sustainable activism, and leading discussions on how to ensure an anti-racist environment in our lab and institution.
Cal-Bridge will be holding events for scholars and faculty in the program to participate in the #Strike4BlackLives #ShutDownSTEM strike on Wed, Jun 10. For details of the events planned, see We encourage all scientists to participate! #BlackLivesMatter
This Wednesday, June 10, I am joining #ShutDownSTEM in solidarity with #Strike4BlackLives. If you're in academia or STEM fields please check out this excellent compilation of resources: https://www.shutdownstem.com/resources
Very useful thread on #Strike4BlackLives (the strike is this Wednesday) 👇

CINP-IPP meetings scheduled for this Wednesday at the CAP Virtual Congress have been rescheduled to Thursday to support the #ParticlesForJustice #Strike4BlackLives.
I’ll be participating in the #strike4blacklives next week, and encouraging my lab to participate as well. We’ll be devoting the day to anti-racist actions to support Black lives in ecology and geoscience. #shutdownstem
