Ah, yes, academia. 😃 Three men doctors created fake social media accounts to spy on other doctors. They published "scholarly" research to explain how unprofessional the doctors were for posting bikini photos. #MedKini #MedBikini
cnn.com/2020/07/25/cnn…
Excerpt from the @CNN piece: "As a female doctor, I'm incredibly aware of how sexist the medical world is. Unless women are regarded as equals, we cannot achieve full progress not just in medicine, but in any other field of occupation."
If snacking on research is your idea of fun (it is for me), here's another article for you. #MedKini #MedBikini sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
"More women than ever are pursuing surgical specialties ... The objective of this study was to examine how surgical residents experience gender-based discrimination during their residency training ..." #MedKini #MedBikini sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
I've shared my take on academia here: twannahines.com. And here's an example of an article I published ages ago re: racism & sexism in academia. This particular piece was about Freakonomics. huffpost.com/entry/freakono…
Btw, the Freakonomics dudes are the same folks who advanced the argument that crime dropped after Roe v Wade passed because all those would-be-criminals were just aborted. The underlying logic? The "kinds" of women who have abortions are the kinds of people who birth "criminals".
If you saw the #MedKini and #MedBikini article in the Journal of Vascular Surgery and thought "That's fucked up!" ... Just wait until you read what academic journal have been publishing about Black folks. 😂
Science is real, and scientists are flawed because they're human & humans are flawed. We fix it science by shoring up flaws, such as bias, prevalent among scientists & we get new scientists that don't have those same biases. #MedKini #MedBikini
And cheers to women in #STEAM, by the way! ❤ If you'd like to know more about me & how bridge tech + art in my work, here's your morning quickie read.

Good morning, loves! ❤️ Here are a few wisdom droplets for you: To state the obvious, every member of congress who aided & abetted last Wednesday's attack is a traitor to this country. #NatSec
If you've seen photos & listened to reports from congresspeople who were inside the Capitol during the attack, you know certain Republicans gave rioters pre-attack recognizance tours.
They also first-pumped to cheer attackers on as they trashed the Capitol, tweeted out the location of the fellow congress members' hiding spaces & one literally said (about the mob) "those are my people." Watch this entire video. #NatSec

If you need a mental / #SelfCare break, tune in to something uplifting ... We're staaaaarting! First up, @USChamber Pres. Suzanne Clark is interviewing @NEAArtsChair @MACartsDC & Annette Bening. #StarringRole
uschamber.com/live-event-exp…
LOVE @NEAArtsChair @MACartsDC comment about how the arts unite us. It's true!! ♥️ #StarringRole
By definition, they require imagination and expanding one's mind. For example, when you see an actor, you're picturing them as the person they're depicting — not solely thinking: "Hey, that's ____!" #StarringRole

Keep this on your radar, folks. Especially watch the language used to describe what's happening. @businessInsider #ForcedSterilizations businessinsider.com/ice-doctor-per…
Usually, "unwanted" is a dated term to describe an untimed, or unexpected, pregnancy. #SRHR #SexualHealth
Usually, it covers a lot of agency on the part of the person who became pregnant. In other words, someone who is able to become pregnant had a consensual sexual encounter, and that encounter resulted in an unexpected — or "unwanted" — pregnancy.

Fascinating experiment! We need more diversity in tech. Here's what the experiment shows ... THREAD.
Not all photos are uploaded to Twitter using the correct specs to optimize display on Twitter. For example ...
Twitter apparently taught its algorithm to find the most interesting / relevant parts of of photos, then display a cropped version of those pics such that the most relevant part shows up as a thumbnail.

We have to stay up. Stay focused. Stay happy. Stay optimistic.
Thank you, @silverbranchus for hosting an outdoor, physically distanced #Oktoberfest event. Spirits need lifting right now, and you're providing that service. #RIPRBG ❤
Tonight I restore my soul. 🍻 Tomorrow, I get back to work.

The New York Times did this, back in 2016. Though, with Trump supporters and Duck Dynasty (vis-a-vis shows like Modern Family & Empire). nytimes.com/interactive/20…
It's the premise of #BigData. To riff off Aristotle's "give me a child until he is 7, and I will show you the man", in modern times, it's: "Give me your data, and I will show you who I believe you are, and push you in the direction of who I want you to be."
As an example, if you're getting election-related calls, texts, Facebook ads, etc., you're getting them because you're on a list. Data decided which list(s) you should be on.
