You tell'em Bart!

84 years young today! Wishing a very happy birthday to the incomparable computer scientist Margaret H. Hamilton. 🎂

It's time for change in the physics community. We're Black physicists who wrote down our vision for this change. Read about it here. changenowphysics.com

Hello friends. I am doing a thing and need your assistance. Q: does your grad program include one or more graduate students in the admissions process? Do they participate in interviews? Read apps / letters of rec? Have a vote in the final decision? Let me know (reply or dm!)

#OnThisDay in 1992, Mae Jemison became the first black woman to travel into space, when she served as mission specialist on the Space Shuttle Endeavour for the STS-47 mission. #WomenInSTEM

🚀✨TODAY’S THE DAY! The online application portal for the Brooke Owens Fellowship is now open. Visit brookeowensfellowship.org to apply by October 4th. The anniversary of Dr. Dr. Mae Jemison’s flight to space seemed like the perfect time to open our apps to launch space careers!✨🚀

In college, it took me 3 semesters to outgrow my awful study habits from high school and I had to do it the hard way. Here's tips from a Yale alum on his way to a PhD on how to study effectively in college and ensure your success! A thread 🧵!

A thread! How can we integrate concepts from Afrofuturism into STEM classrooms? Here are some Afrofuturistic/Speculative Fiction books that would be cool to integrate into any STEM curriculum:

Today we recognize years of transformative work leading to the discovery of black holes, and the Milky Way’s very own supermassive black hole. The celebration is even more exciting w/ the recognition of Dr. Andrea Ghez’s work, the 4th woman in history to be awarded the prize!
