Abstract
On May 25th, 2020, George Floyd’s death sparked an international outrage that embroils all extremes of the political, ethical, legal, and historical discourse on racist policing practices. Yet, there are STEM professionals who refrain from public and political discussions simply because they believe that these discussions are irrelevant to their professions. The purpose of this article is to call on those who have remained silent to speak out in support of the Black Lives Matter, specifically those scientific and engineering professionals who practice the “culture of disengagement” from politics and public discourse, for silence equates complicity when it comes to racism.
