Intersectionality will save the future of science | Shawntel Okonkwo | TEDxUCLA

[@strumspicks2456]

17:10 "Who science serves"... Well, unfortunately it primarily serves those who fund it, anything else is an unintended byproduct as far as I can see Thanks for this thought provoking talk

[@School_211]

Respect completely to Shawntel ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

[@eo2353]

Wow her passion was so captivating, and the speech was so moving! We need more scientists like her 👏👏👏👏

[@jonashenryii8949]

I'm proud of you Ms Udoka

[@terrellfstephens]

The screams I scrumpt, the way I quickened, how I shouted, and then the ending, “Thank you”…🤯😵👏🏿 How I wish wokeSTEM existed when I was younger!

[@BRAUSA]

I don’t fully get with all of these ideas but I feel her passion and think she will do good in the world. End the drug war.

[@AminTheMystic]

Not how it works. Bad ideas do a lot of damage and not good.

[@SirBlackReeds]

Oof.

[@alexanderbarrientos8800]

@AminTheMystic are you serious you call that bad idea's, your racism is showing🤦‍♂️

[@drewdrewski4188]

These kinds of "pro-equity" topics are almost always discussed in an ambiguous, 10k-foot-view manner in front of a mainstream audience because it's the only way to make them sound good. The moment you try to apply ideas about "privilege," "equity," "intersectionality," etc to real-life individual human beings, the bigotry and moral depravity of these ideas become impossible to miss.

Systemic issues require systemic solutions!!

[@alexanderbarrientos8800]

Say it louder for the ones in the back😌

[@bentray1908]

We engineers have already been changing the world for a while now. Welcome to the party. Lets do it! Build something!

[@SirBlackReeds]

Intersectionality isn't about building. It's of the deconstructionism school.

[@rikardotsamsiyu]

[@MediaBuster]

I just lost 4 million brain cells. The world is getting dumber and more destructive by the day.

[@aliceeffiong4196]

Awesome talk 💯💯

[@SirBlackReeds]

Was that sarcasm?

[@SirBlackReeds]

That one didn't age quite so well.

[@itschelli983]

Imagine studying Genes, but continuing to believe in Equality.

[@billysanderson4921]

Cognitive dissonance my frend :)

[@BRAUSA]

Yeah that’s a rough consolidation

[@CatholicFrog]

There’s a difference between equality as an ethical principle and equality as a biological reality and they don’t necessarily entail each other which is to say you can have A and not B or B and not A or neither A or B or Both. Genes doesn’t disprove intersectional theory. Sidenote: I’m not a fan of intersectional theory, I’m just someone who wanted to point out the fallacy in your statement

[@eeeooo4908]

Imagine not being able to understand that biological differences cannot be ascribed to sociocultural differences

[@BananaNationTV]

@@CatholicFrog she even stated in the talk she is for equity which is markedly different than equality.

[@ralfkohler2406]

Haha. You. A scientist. Bwahagaha 😂

[@itschelli983]

Uhhuh.
