From PBS:
Over the course of 2020, scholars from a range of scientific fields came together in a grassroots fashion to curate virtual events, panels, and campaigns to amplify the experiences and contributions of Black scientists. Numerous “Black in X” weeks took shape to spotlight the presence and achievements of Black STEM professionals.
These campaigns highlight the importance of fostering a learning environment that promotes diversity and inclusion within STEM and provides students with incredible examples of young scientist role models across a number of fields.
