@PictureaSciFilm is not a one-sided story but it is a truth that discrimination is real for #WomenInSTEM, our panelist @GrinuMathew
We just started the panel discussion. Join us! https://twitter.com/CUNYPostdocs/status/1336016560020975619

Kuheli Dutt, a Diversity officer raises an important point about how privilege blinds us to #racism and #sexism prevalent in academia. It's a privilege to not see the bad side of your colleagues.

@GrinuMathew on normalizing transparency and vocalizing discrimination in academia ponders why should women have to wait until they get tenure to file for #Harrassment. It is important to talk about this real problem with mentors, colleagues and departments.

Kuheli Dutt on no consequences for harassers in academia - No diversity in leadership positions is a real bottleneck! We need women and BIPOC in leadership positions to evaluate our priorities on what kind of behavior is considered right or wrong for minority scientists.

@Dr_Shella_SFL notes that she watched #PictureAScientist with her 3 boys. What a powerful way to wducate the next generation about #WomenInSTEM and #Genderbaseddiscrimination

@Dr_Shella_SFL has a great advice for #ECResearchers facing any sexual harassment. Don't be afraid to voice your problems. Find allies. Record it if you can. When you are not sure, trust your intuition. If you feel it is not right, it OFTEN is not!

Kuheli Dutt expalining the role of the #OMSBUD office on the campus and why they are the important allies in the position to help with #discriminations complaints.

@Dr_Shella_SFL says it unfettered - 'The onus is not on women or the victim to change the culture. The culture and people who enabled it needs to change.' #WomenInSTEM

@GrinuMathew advocates for the Grant agencies and offices to develop a zero-tolerance policies towards any kind of discrimination.
