This is why being a visible #minority is so hard. I shall only state my own experience. Comments by REAL people.🧵

1. Job interview - “How many years of postdoc have you done? Oh, you are an infant postdoc”

2. “You are here because of EDI…haha..JK”
3. “I am surprised. This opportunity should have been given to senior PIs”

4. “What do you think? Can you do this independently? Things are different now”

And there are more. I needed to share these. These signs of microaggression do not help.
I am so lucky to have colleagues and mentors who constantly support me and hear me out, but comments like these do keep coming back. As I grow and mature as a researcher, I shall constantly remind myself to be humble and inclusive. #EquityIsOpportunity
