' “We're showing people, some from pretty far away, that we have something here maybe they didn’t expect, and then they look around to see what else is here,” [3rd-generation Black farmer Christopher Joe] says. “They come for the birds [and] get exposed to the powerful Civil Rights stories that unfolded throughout the Black Belt. We’re all better for more people understanding those things.”

Looking to boost as many #BlackInSTEM – or really BIPOC folks in any field – as I can here. I'm very much missing those connections from the other site and worried about people who were just finding a voice having their silenced.

#BlackBirders especially!

I'm trying to fill out my following list with more science folks, but i realized I'm missing a lot of the diversity from the bird site. I'd love to see and boost more diverse perspectives.

@SallyStrange I was looking for #BlackBirders (0 so far) #BlackInStem (found a little there!) etc. I met a lot of lovely folk that way on Twitter. Hope many make the jump.
