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 …

He's a Quillette sycophant. He's shown up on my threads with exactly this attitude when a racist & transphobic White woman attacked me for a research critique (not even her work). His argument was that I should just engage with trolls and that I was "derailing" by not "debating"

This is a career strategy of a certain type of White male student, who are using social media to spread discrimination. They hope to appeal to academics who've made a name for themselves doing the same Wary of harm they do to fellow students IRL & harm they hope to do in future

He joins the long tradition of White scientists who use "academic freedom" to shield their appalling behaviour and to tear down minorities and other underrepresented groups. Appalling.

Very timely given I'm reading Superior by
@AngelaDSaini at the moment. Been thinking all the way through 'these are the people we run into online every damn day'. And here is yet another one.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -
But we must remember - it's not just online. He's a PhD student. He behaves this way online because that's the way he behaves. Twitter might make people bolder, but, in fact, racist people do this - and worse - every day in labs, classrooms, in public and behind closed doors.

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.
