Liz Fong-Jones (方禮真)Someone else want to tag in here about... every time that white men have refused to change the working conditions of their women or PoC colleagues and said "we'll encourage more STEM education"? I am oh so very tired. #causeascene https://twitter.com/Rklawton/status/1188154160291680256
