A residency applicant reached out to me asking how @Stanford was responding to the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes in the Bay Area. @StanfordMed and @StanfordChild leadership sent us this message on Lunar New Year. Shoutout to @StopAAPIHate!
I also highlighted the work of #LEADatStanfordMed, @StanfordODME, @StanfordMedOFDD, Stanford @APAMSA, @StanfordA3C. Recognizing the increase in anti-Asian hate crimes is only a first step. Institutions can make their support for communities more visible by celebrating with them
Last year (pre-COVID) when @StanfordChild celebrated Lunar New Year ( https://twitter.com/StanfordChild/status/1222940764201603072), I was able to share part of my culture with my patients and colleagues. Check out those awesome lion dancers too!
Yesterday, we ordered boba milk tea for folks @Stanford_obanes and @stanfordanes. I want to give props to @UCincyIM for their great thread about celebrating with their residents (see: https://twitter.com/UCincyIM/status/1360282204912316420)
Despite all this difficult news, (see https://www.npr.org/2021/02/12/966940217/anger-and-fear-as-asian-american-seniors-targeted-in-bay-area-attacks and https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/12/us/asian-american-racism.html), checkout @StopAAPIHate, celebrate #LunarNewYear2021, and celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth
this February!
