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
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.
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

Respect completely to Shawntel ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I'm proud of you Ms Udoka
Wow her passion was so captivating, and the speech was so moving! We need more scientists like her 👏👏👏👏
wtf i went to high school w/her
lol she out here doin ted talks n im still at burger king lmfao
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!
We engineers have already been changing the world for a while now. Welcome to the party. Lets do it! Build something!
Intersectionality isn't about building. It's of the deconstructionism school.
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.
Not how it works. Bad ideas do a lot of damage and not good.
Oof.
@AminTheMystic are you serious you call that bad idea's, your racism is showing🤦♂️

Systemic issues require systemic solutions!!
Say it louder for the ones in the back😌
Interesting talk, maked me think of my science in a different way.
Awesome talk 💯💯
Was that sarcasm?
Super talk Udoka ! Well done ....
I just lost 4 million brain cells. The world is getting dumber and more destructive by the day.
Dropped a Regular schmegula, deaaammmmn
Dropped a luniz quote too. Sheeeit.
That one didn't age quite so well.
Imagine studying Genes, but continuing to believe in Equality.
Cognitive dissonance my frend :)
Yeah that’s a rough consolidation

Imagine not being able to understand that biological differences cannot be ascribed to sociocultural differences
@@CatholicFrog she even stated in the talk she is for equity which is markedly different than equality.
Haha. You. A scientist. Bwahagaha 😂
Uhhuh.
