If you're wondering why I'm so fired up about @ScienceMarchDC, I'm lashing out in response to the harassment/discrimination I've experienced

By critiquing a movement that should represent me yet embodies many of the systemic issues in science, I can raise awareness w/ less risk

It's easier to address racism, sexism, ableism in science as concepts rather than head-on with colleagues that perpetuate it. #marginsci

There is a reason that many of the people unhappy with @ScienceMarchDC are minorities, women, have disabilities, are queer, etc. #marginsci

There's a reason we have chosen this platform to speak out instead of in lab or at the department beer hour. #marginsci

When you're the only person who understands what it's like to be you, it's hard to stick up for yourself. Sci twitter unites many #marginsci

I was conditioned by people who called me sassy, bitchy, annoying whenever I stood up for something. Well I'm a sassy bitchy scientist now.

You are no ally of mine if you only like me when I'm quiet and patient and everything else you want an Asian woman to be. #marginsci
