Last week I was invited to sign a letter offering support for David Sabatini, organized by current & former lab members. Universities considering hiring him have asked for this.
I will not sign.
There was no option to provide a more nuanced response, so I will elaborate here 🧵

It is @emily_melzer’s and my pleasure to celebrate Dr. Mary Sloan Siegrist (@siegristpalmore) with the “What did we do to deserve this amazing PI” #Award. This distinction recognizes the very best of the best. A thread 👇🏽

I have worked on diversity in faculty hiring for several years and have studied racism for decades. I can thus tell you with confidence that the #1 reason Black, Latinx, and Indigenous people are under-represented among faculty is that people on search committees are racist.

There's a lot going on, but you can stand up for the rights of international grad workers and scholars right now.
Submit a public comment and tell DHS how its new rule will harm our community: actionnetwork.org/letters/su…
