Happy Black History Month! I’m trying to compile a list of contemporary black chemists and I could only think of 20 off the top of my head. Drop some names please. Thank you!

U.S. policy was to help bring an end to apartheid and establish a nonracial, democratic government. In response to this policy and the Act, USAID/South Africa was responsible for financing projects that apartheid victims viewed as critical in promoting social, political, and economic change through peaceful means.

The mission enabled community consultation and ensured that the United States did not impose foreign-defined solutions to local problems. USAID created projects and activities to respond to the priorities of the black community and its leaders, maximized black participation and leadership, and ensured activities had a linkage to the general objectives of U.S. policy.

First-year funding for the program was $25 million, which was raised to $50 million the second year. The main project areas were community outreach and leadership development to redress the repression of black-led institutions; educational support and training to address the educational crisis in South Africa; black private enterprise development to combat the inhibiting effects of apartheid–induced discrimination in private enterprise; university grants to help create a new generation of economic and political leaders; human rights; legal assistance; labor union training; and health and nutrition

Getting a little too personal here… how do I stop being upset for not receiving a happy birthday message from someone I was hoping would text me, but not really surprised that he didn’t

Who’s quitting academia? Data reveal gender gaps in surprising fields Even in scientific areas in which women are well represented, they are up to 40% more likely than men to leave research within 20 years.

β€œβ€˜It’s very easy to assume that science is going to change organically towards equality β€” and what this study shows is that that’s not happening…It is an β€˜important reminder for us that we need to stay vigilant in working towards equality in science’” @crsugimoto.bsky.social πŸ§ͺ

I’ve never felt so seen!!!!

Omg just yesterday a group of men where I work were shocked to find out I wasn’t a lesbian… their reasoning: β€œyou work in a blue collar job, talk too much shit for a straight girl, and you also interact more with the men at the worksite instead of hiding in the office”

One of the things I still don’t understand is how these tech bros can be pro-technology and anti science.
