Last week, a boat holding 800 refugees sank off the Greek Coast. No women or children survived. It is a political choice to let human beings drown at sea. On World Refugee Day, we demand justice.

With the @NEJM article on how “the belief that Black people have denser bones, more muscle, or thicker skin led radiologists & technicians to use higher radiation exposure during x-ray procedures,” I’m running out of room in my slide on racist race “correction” in medicine.

Madhu’s speech at the International AIDS Conference just shook global health at the core. Three excerpts here. 1) Global health structures are racist; and this is not a bug, it is a feature.

Our long awaited project is finally done! Myself and 23 other Black women PhDs and PhD candidates have published a memoir to share our experiences in a PhD program. First year me would’ve loved to have this book and I can’t believe I’m an author in it😊
