This happened to me when I was visiting Scripps. I kept walking. Also happened when attending a faculty meeting at Vanderbilt.
Didnt take long to happen to me. Coming in lab today stopped by woman asking if I was here to pick up boxes. Then she repeatedly says I cant come in. Show her my ID and said Im a professor and Im going to my office. She is not security. I belong here too. When will this end?

Please stop using HBCUs as your only example of poor institutions. I know you mean well, but all it does is create a negative bias against HBCU PIs. This article could have made its point simply by saying "low-resourced" institutions. [The Poor = Black mindset is just lazy.]

Will never forget the black women i knew and the random black people i met while a grad student who gave me love. While preparing for prelim, Ms Vena walked into the conf rm and said, "I'm so happy to see you here." She almost started crying. Dedicated my thesis to the ancestors

Not a productive day. Purifying protein. Setup FLPC to go O/N. This AM, realized I didn't put sample line in sample last night. Setup to run again, did the same thing. 3rd run, got protein. Run protein gel. 12 kDa protein runs off the gel. Clearly structure must be important.
