Keynote by @KateClancy: why do we use passive terms like leaky pipeline/glass ceiling when actually women and PoC are being *actively* and aggressively pushed out of academia? #FASSM

LGBTQ women and gender minorities are physically harassed at TWICE the rate of cis straight women. @KateClancy #FASSM

Talking about how often we attribute others anger/harm to ourselves/as our own fault, because we have been conditioned to, especially WoC in academia. Some really hard-hitting and emotional anecdotes. @KateClancy #FASSM

Policy is important but it will not save us: we need to change the real climate, including incentive structures, condoned behaviours, and unwritten rules, to align with institutions claimed values/mission statements. @KateClancy #FASSM

Standing ovation from every single person in the room for @KateClancy after an amazing keynote. Just one of the many times I teared up during the talk. #FASSM
