Congrats to Dr. Norman! We were fortunate to have her spend half a year at #HowardUniversity helping to rebuild the Astronomy side of our department a few years ago thanks to funding from U.S. National Science Foundation through Dr. Sonya T. Smith (she/her) ๐บ๐ธ๐๐ฉ๐บ . Thanks โ๏ธAshley๐ญLindalรญaโ๏ธ and American Astronomical Society (AAS) for this!
.U.S. National Science Foundation data revealed Black women comprise only 1.8% of roles in engineering and science fields. On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we acknowledge the progress made and reenergize our commitment to achieving full and equal access for women in #STEM.
Congratulations to my Applied Fluids & Thermal Engineering Research Lab PhD graduates: Anaiya Reliford Kirsten Lovelace. So proud of you both! #HowardUniversity
