Some members in academia suffer from microaggressions leading to decreased performance. In a #BehindThePaper Interview, we chatted with AJ Hinton @phdgprotein86 about how we can identify and combat microaggressions. @DrDreNeuroWay @CommOfScholars

To combat microaggressions in academia, it is important to understand what microaggressions are and how to behave when experienced.

This has been a year of wins for us! Another scholar is joining the ranks and opening her lab at @fredhutch next Spring! Congrats @cterminiPHD (a.k.a. Cut-Tina) 🎉
I am thrilled to announce I will be joining the Clinical Research Division @fredhutch as an Assistant Professor! It is surreal to say the Termini Lab will open in Spring of 2022. Thank you to those who supported me – I look forward to joining such a vibrant scientific community!

When people ask me what enables me to thrive and stay in science, its times like this month, when I was able to celebrate the accomplishments of two Black women in STEM @channyskye @dr_ohsopretty that are now faculty, that mean so so much.

Penn State gave me the opportunity as a graduate student to pursue science while being 100% authentically me. Therefore, words can not describe this moment, and how grateful that I am for this full circle experience to return to a place I love and call my second home. #WeAre

Since then, Dr. Hinton helped found @CommOfScholars, who've together provided three additional lists, including the 1,000 inspiring Black scientists list -- a monument to our shared goals to change the way people envision scientists. https://t.co/I3uDRPODoU
