Why do we work hard to make science engaging and fun when talking to the public, yet we think it has to be serious when talking to other scientists? Don’t we all enjoy engaging presentations? Science does not stop being valid just because we make it fun. #SciComm

I’ve been saying this for about 15 years now. People in science have acted like if you smile too much your work just isn’t credible. And don’t be a woman smiling too much. Word coded definitely not credible. One of worst micro-aggressions in the field.

Visited Aquaculture Research and Education Laboratory (AREL) Cheyney University Herban Farms, the 1st HBCU. Exciting to see a transformation and paradigm shift for a sustainable future of higher education.

I’m saying it loud #hbcu_casl Where PhD scientists conduct empirical research on HBCU leadership to broaden participation in STEM! #hbcu_casl

Enjoying a break in sunny Orlanda with colleague, Robin Baskin McNulty during our visit to Valencia College! Great opportunity and experience. #ilclearningcenter #womeninstem #valenciacollege #orlando #education

ILC's working to devise a virtual learning platform for parents and teachers that measures students’ attention and cognitive engagement using eye-tracking for diverse and advanced learning, especially in lieu of recent events. Read more: ilearningcenter.education/eye-tracking-f…

A privilege to tutor Aria in Chemistry. She is a beautiful soul pursuing a career in biomedicine.

Being told repeatedly in 2002 my dissertation research interest on African American science teachers of African American students was way too narrow. Good teaching is good teaching. No need to name ethnicity of teacher. Researched it anyway. #BlackintheIvory

Experienced something similar first day as Postdoctoral Fellow in the mailroom. The question came with the stern, "How can I help you?" Non-verbals communicated, "What are you doing in here?" I said, No. I'm checking to see where my mailbox is.

Been saying this for years. ‘Savage Inequalities’ top of list. Never was able to make sense of making intellectual descriptions of inequalities without also saying explicitly how revenue generated would improve sample population studied.

I’ll be there. Can you post the FB live link?

The golf tee was invented by a black inventor George F. Grant. Patented in 1899.

“There’s no question in my mind that anyone’s personal wealth is the product of a collective effort, and of social structures which present opportunities to some people, and obstacles to countless others.” - @mackenziebezos, truth teller

It’s really hard to understand her perspective. Nine people attending bible study at church in her state were killed for being Black.

Coming in June 2021 is the Handbook of Research on the Changing Role of College and University #Leadership. We're proud of Chapter 12: "Presidents’ Role in Broadening Participation in #STEM" by Dr. Kimarie Engerman, @UviProvost, & @atuckerblackmon igi-global.com/book/handbook-… #HBCU
