If a requirement is not a solution, pressing the student to talk to their PI should also not be a solution. There should be a clause that protects those that want to do service for their communities universally, without the added pressure and conversation needed. At the end of the day 'Broader Impacts' gets pressed hard on students, and will be ideal to all feel comfortable doing so.]]> 2020-08-03 20:15:21 UTC https://padlet.com/loganleak1/xm66oi1k45q99ak5/wish/668396859 https://padlet.com/loganleak1/xm66oi1k45q99ak5/wish/668396989 learning about the systemic & institutionalized exclusion and exploitation of racial/ethnic/gender minorities in cancer research is also NECESSARY for a basic understanding of cancer biology]]> 2020-08-03 20:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/loganleak1/xm66oi1k45q99ak5/wish/668396989 https://padlet.com/loganleak1/xm66oi1k45q99ak5/wish/668398398 ...which directly benefits the future of our university and the direction and equitability of the research that we do.

Children learn empathy at a young age, and though history can be taught later, trying to change one's heart with bias training feels a bit futile and performative. Additionally, are bioscience doctoral programs really the right place to try to remedy the gaping holes in what children were taught in 5th grade U.S. history? ]]> 2020-08-03 20:39:25 UTC https://padlet.com/loganleak1/xm66oi1k45q99ak5/wish/668415702 https://padlet.com/loganleak1/xm66oi1k45q99ak5/wish/668416726 I think a training such as this is most effective when 'live,' i.e. as a workshop or panel as opposed to a deck of impersonal slides ]]> 2020-08-03 20:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/loganleak1/xm66oi1k45q99ak5/wish/668416726 https://padlet.com/loganleak1/xm66oi1k45q99ak5/wish/668418584 Cancer Bio is a small program and it is hard to keep things completely anonymous.
