For #SciArtSeptember day 9: heart, it’s trailblazing American #biochemist Marie Maynard Daly (1921-2003), 1st Black woman to earn a PhD in #chemistry in the US! She made important research contributions to the biochemisty of the cell nucleus & cardiovascular issues & our knowledge of the chemistry of histones & protein synthesis. She published original research establishing that….

Happy birthday to mathematician & NASA scientist Katherine Johnson (née Coleman; 1918 – 2020). One of the first Black women employed as a NASA scientist (and its predecessor NACA), she was known for her mastery of complex manual calculations of orbital mechanics and played a pivotal role in the success of the US crewed spaceflights from the beginning.

Happy birthday to pharmaceutical #chemist Alice Ball (1892-1916) who developed 1st effective treatment for #leprosy. Though her life was cut tragically short, her research saved 1000s from exile & painful, ineffective lifelong treatment for leprosy, & she was a trailblazer for both women & Black scientists.⁠

Ball studied #chemistry at UW earning a BSc & 2nd degree in pharmacy 2 years later.

Blacks in Cybersecurity celebrates Juneteenth 2023!

Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and recognizes the end of slavery in the United States.

Juneteenth holds significant historical and cultural importance as a symbol of freedom and the ongoing struggle for civil rights and equality. It serves as a time for reflection, remembrance, and celebration of African American heritage and achievements.

I joined the second wave of Code In Place, was a fun way to learn some basic Python and prep for Uni.
I plan to go back as a section chief next year...give a lil something back!

Applications close on April 10th and it's a 6 week program (mooc) and totally free 🤩

Herbert is an amazing example of moving areas. His undergrad interest was physical, but he was determined to prove he was a capable synthetic chemist & has done so. He spoke frankly about imposter syndrome & what a profoundly great mentor Bekka Klausen has been for him. #BlackInChem #BlackInSTEM #chemistry #ChemiVerse #PUI

It was wonderful to host Herbert Wakefield IV (CHEM '19) for our seminar today! He inspired students with two awesome stories from his time with Klausen Group at JHU, including some exciting (soon to be published) work. #BlackInChem #BlackInSTEM #chemistry #ChemiVerse #PUI 1/2

@paulkater

We need something like this for WomenInSTEM, perhaps have other groups like TransInSTEM, #blackinstem

So we can share stories (or help to ) and encourage a more diverse work / study force.

Do you know a STEM student or graduate in Europe, the Middle East or an African country? This Google afternoon might be for them on Wednesday 15th.
