This is a really bad take. 1. A job is something you get paid for. We aren't making money off our time on here. 2. If you post your experiences or science constantly having to justify them to a bunch of people who know very little about the topic is exhausting.https://twitter.com/Richie_Research/status/1156886103913316352 …

Yep very true! Thankfully I dont come across them that often in the conservation sphere but they are there. A number of more prominant academics in human differences were zoologists, and the field is historically rooted in a lot of racist awfulness.

YES! I'm sure they're there. And that Indigenous & other
#POC are acutely aware. All sciences have this history, including the social sciences. It just manifests slightly differently today in our scholarship & practices, but same outcome: fewer minorities in academia -
Just wanted to say thank you both here. I wanted to before but went to pet some donkeys in a breakaway state. Anyway, seriously thank you.

It’s the ‘behind closed doors’ but that really troubles me. I know such academics present horrible ideas to undergrads and graduates of color in contained spaces. And it went no where after reporting them, because the system protects those its already groomed.

Oh, yeah, behind closed doors is everything from: not encouraging
#POC / minority students who say they want to do a PhD (withholding support), to normalising inequity (let's not focus on racism because we're talking about gender equality right now), to overt discrimination
