I’ve been getting a lot of questions from my non-Black friends about how to be a better ally to Black people. I suggest unlearning and relearning through literature as just one good jumping off point, and have broken up my anti-racist reading list into sections:

There are really really excellent science communicators on twitter who are part of the #BlackInSTEM community. Make your timeline better and follow them.
First up, @Afro_Herper
She’s a lizard biologist and gives us the game #FindThatLizard every Wednesday and it’s delightful.

New blog post up @ImmunoBites! What do we know about the immune response to #SARSCoV2? What immunotherapies are already being deployed for #COVID19 patients? I dove into the world of pre-prints and pre-pubs to find out.
