Preparing for a qualifying exam in the middle of a pandemic after losing five family members to COVID-19 <<<<<<<<<<<<<< BUT I PASSED. Wishing I could celebrate with all of my family, but I'm making space to enjoy today and believe that they're all proud of me

Hey, y’all! Hope I’m in the right place 👀 I’m Kelcee & I’m a 3rd year PhD candidate in @BBS_Harvard. My research focuses on the therapeutic application of genome editing tools, namely base and prime editors, to rare genetic diseases #BlackinGeneticsRollCall #BlackinGeneticsWeek

Well past the halfway mark in 2020, still struggling under the many blows the year has brought us, I look back and give thanks for some of the many reasons for joy that my lab and family have brought in the past months: thread 1/15

So glad to be able to be able to give back to @SFSU with other alums in sharing our experiences and trajectory towards getting a PhD. Some of these students didn't know that you get paid pursuing a PhD in the biosciences and could've deterred them from going!

The ICE notice on F-1 visas is incredibly concerning. But as it stands, this statement does not carry the force of law. We will right these deportations. Harvard students, DM us to join the International Scholars Working Group.

There are lynchings happening all across this country right now. My family is calling me, terrified for my safety because I do research in a region drowning in racism, and I’m scared, too. The least of my concerns, but this is getting in the way of my research on multiple levels

How many Indigenous or Black people have made arrangements with their friends and family should they be murdered by police/missing and ignored? I know I have and that is so fucked up.

Black scientists develop whole other personalities just to disarms non-black peoples suspicion, to over-demonstrate their intelligence, to seem more chill in an attempt to regulate our own emotions to macro/microagressions, to prevent white tears. #BlackInIvory
Use humor to disarm and speak or engage first (oh and in your proper voice). That won't give them the chance to be racist, right? Then all the sudden, that is just who you are. To those who know me now, my mom said I was introverted when I was a kid. #BlackintheIvory
