Fewer than 20 Black women physicists in the U.S. have earned tenure. This scholar just joined the club.

As the first Black woman to earn tenure in particle theory or cosmology theory, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein is breaking barriers in physics while achieving her lofty childhood dreams.
And, at the risk of crossing subLemmy boundaries, here's Mekka Okereke (@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io) on that achievement, and Mastadon's loss:
"And when she tried to join the Fediverse, she was greeted with a barrage of hate, sexism, racism, and anti-semitism that should have never been allowed to happen.
"So now no one on Fediverse gets to interact with her directly about her work on here. Our loss. š¢
"Which is why we'll make it so that this type of terrible welcome is unlikely to happen again. Allowing it to happen to her was a choice. We will make better ones."

Not a single clause in that sentence makes any kind of sense.
I'll help you out.
Still making no sense whatsoever.
