And I have felt very conflicted, because I didn't want to undermine some of the folks still working internally.

I worry most about harmful messages that reinforce the idea that science isn't for everyone.
Sadly this is the message that POC, LGBTQIA & disabled people are getting loud & clear: you don't belong here. @JacquelynGill #marginsci

I honestly think most don't understand that this is the message, or why. They're still in "n-blind" mode.

I also think there a lot of self-undermining that comes with being new organizers and not reaching out to seasoned folks.

Lots of URM told the organisers to reach out to activist groups. E.g. https://twitter.com/HeyDrWilson/status/824480926654726145 … They didn't listen.
@JacquelynGill#marginsci -
There are even people involved with activist experience who aren't being listened to, which is so frustrating.

What a mess! Do we let 1st year undergrads run projects or labs? No. They have to be trained by experts for years.

I've often said that only way to save academia is to tear it all down and rebuild inclusively from ground up.

I'm sympathetic to this! Academia is not only broken - it was set up long ago by and for men. System of reward biased

Realized it when I quit ABD; 7yrs of harassment, assault, obstruction, etc. Realized couldnt change fr w/in.
@JacquelynGill -
I'm sorry this happened to you! I'm glad you got out. I hope your wellbeing is a little better given circumstances.
@JacquelynGill -
It is, thank you. I have no regrets.
