I just started following @wokeSTEM and you should, too. WokeSTEM is a creative response to the lack of diversity, social equity and inclusive cultures for minoritized people in STEM. Not just for women. Check them out and sign up for updates! wokestem.com/aboutus

So true. Ben Carson was all we had (or knew of) and he was a god-like figure for many of us young African-Americans interested in science and medicine. Here’s to hoping that the next generation has a wider pool of role models.

Replying to @IAmDrDex
scientists? As a kid, I always said Ben Carson was my role model, not because I wanted to be a surgeon, but because he was the only black male I knew within medical research. So how about we talk about an underrepresented (and under-promoted) population of scientists!
