If you want to publish a paper on anything related to reirradiation, now is the time to DM me and get that paper submitted!

Join NSBP in celebrating the graduation of our impressive scholars! If you have graduated from any level of college education from 2024 to 2025, please submit your first & last name, degree obtained, school, graduation dates, and a picture to [email protected]. #NSBPBHM #BHM #Grad2025
Spent 2 days @MGMNatlHarbor for my 25th anniversary and I have to say the experience was pretty hit or miss. For such a relatively new property, a lot could be done to elevate the experience. That said, my aesthetician, Whitney was awesome and Brooklyn at the spa works hard.
I cannot believe this. They are really trying to bring back colonialism and double down on hate. Not today.

I think this data will to be super useful and inform strategies for drawing Black students to physics and astronomy. Now once they're there, how do we ensure they feel like they belong & are properly supported? #TEAMUPTogether #BlackinPhysics #BlackinAstro @NSBPInc
What inspires Black physics students to study physics? @AIP_Stats asked the class of 2022, and here’s what they had to say:
🚀 Informal exposure to science: 56%
🎥 Movies or TV: 49%
🔭 Personal hobby: 42%

I was pleased to be able to discuss the importance of building coalitions for DEI efforts in the physical sciences recently @APSphysics Annual Leadership Meeting. For systemic change, we must not go it alone, it takes strategic partnerships built on trust.
How do we succeed at building an inclusive STEMM enterprise through strategic coalitions? — a tremendous conversation at the @APSphysics annual leadership meeting, including a focus on @AIP_TEAMUP. @AIP_HQ @AAS_Office @AAPTHQ @SPSNational @SOA_2050 @PA_SEAChange
Unsurprisingly, this new study by @EdTrust and Just Equations found that high achieving Black & Latino students lack access to advance math courses. bit.ly/3GCGjch
It's why I think physics depts should partner with math depts to provide comprehensive, nonjudgmental math support to these students so they can achieve greater success in physics and astronomy. It's called #Equity
These black women are so dope! I’m so inspired by them and their accomplishments!

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting with the TEAM-UP Together Campaign Committee, @AIP_HQ Foundation staff, and two @AIP_TEAMUP Together scholars, Destiny Howell and LaToya Anderson, who are just amazing rising stars!
I had a wonderful time @GoogleCloudTech in NYC listening to the "Father's of the Internet" Vint Cerf & Bob Kahn who developed the TC/PIP protocol, give details on how it all came to be. Thanks to Google Cloud & @AIP_HQ Foundationfor this wonderful event! youtube.com/live/NPfm2OmHOoM…

Questions. Which physics departments, in your experience or opinion, are the best at supporting Black students? What made them good or great? No negative reviews here please. #blackinphysics #blackinastro #blackinx @Aawip_com
It was such a special experience to give a plenary at #AAPTSM23 and share our vision and progress on #TEAMUPTogether. I know that together we can reach our goal of creating change & doubling the number of Black students earning bachelor's degrees in physics and astronomy by 2030.
#AAPTSM23 Plenary talk given by Arlene Modeste Knowles, Project Manager and the primary driver for the American Institute of Physics TEAM-UP Project and TEAMUP Together collective action initiatives. #AAPTMeeting #AAPTConference
Black Excellence!

Every @NSBPInc meeting, and particularly this first ever Student Leadership Development Summit, leaves me feeling energized and reinvigorated to keep working toward equity and justice. Thank you for including me on this incredible panel. ✨️#BlackinPhysics #BlackinAstro
Insightful, vulnerable and open discussion with our experienced panelists on navigating spaces in STEM as an underrepresented minority @Physics70 @ArleneMKnowles @ximenaccid1 #SLDS23 #BlackinPhysics #LatinXinSTEM #NSBP #NSHP
Job Opportunities at Hampton U. physics!
My alma mater @_hamptonu is hiring hundreds of faculty/staff/administrators. Some departments, like mathematics and physics, have 5 or more positions available. There is new leadership and I can now once again recommend that you apply. hamptonu.edu/hr/faculty_jobl…
