Then while times have definitely changed, the impact of that past image is still prominent as it was the old norm so then we mainly only remember/recognize the achievements of scientists who were mainly white men]]> 2021-02-03 16:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159761658 kaitlinz https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159761899 I related to Dr.Angie King the most, as one of the most notable moments in her career was teaching soldiers during world war two. This is because she did something for the army by teaching them chemistry and mathematics.

It's crazy how these scientists have advanced science in magnificent ways, yet there really hasn't been much circulation about them in the news.

I remember recently seeing that a major scientific discovery that was credited to men was actually in part, discovered by a woman. And white men tend to overshadow people of different races, often not crediting the teams that worked behind them. ]]> 2021-02-03 16:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159823986 I think that they have dominated the profession by not wanting to have women and people of color and creating limitations to what those groups of people can accomplish in these professions. imogenm5 https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159835246 2021-02-03 17:01:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159835246 It has been categorized as a white male profession because they have been the people with the best access to education historically, which is a necessary prerequisite to improving science and technology. niccoe https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159848443 2021-02-03 17:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159848443 I appreciated Lloyd Noel Ferguson the most because of his activism regarding low-income/minority students. From his experiences growing up, he developed multiple programs to aid young students into entering higher education, specifically those with low-economic statuses or those from minority groups. mohamedm68 https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159852638 2021-02-03 17:04:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159852638 Lloyd Noel Ferguson went to UC Berkeley where he got his B.S and Ph.D in chemistry. mohamedm68 https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159861315 2021-02-03 17:06:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159861315 I think what impacted me the most after reading the articles was the sheer amount of perseverance that many of these scientists demonstrated. Despite all odds, these people enjoyed their studies and went against inequality in an effort to succeed. mohamedm68 https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159863949 2021-02-03 17:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159863949 I appreciated James West's story because of how it impacts me currently. His invention of the modern microphone still impacts me today, especially as one who appreciates good music and clear lyrics. It made it better to me that he was African-American, which showed that I could make a massive impact on people, like he did. niccoe https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159864274 2021-02-03 17:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159864274 daniellam41 https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159867568 I appreciated that while Mae Jemison broke barriers by being the first African- American woman in space, she left NASA to pursue other work that would benefit people. She's started initiatives to encourage scientific literacy and education and has taught at multiple universities. ]]> 2021-02-03 17:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159867568 Science has been historically categorized as a profession for white men because people of color, along with women have been ignored, silenced, and persecuted throughout history. These individuals have been continuously discredited mohamedm68 https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159872736 out of fear by white males that they would lose power/social influence. As a result, minorities and women have struggled to breakthrough in the scientific community, not because of a lack of knowledge or capability, but because of oppressions rooted in racism and sexism. ]]> 2021-02-03 17:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159872736 What impacted me was how little people are actually in popular culture. Additionally, the people throughout history who made massive impacts on science, are not talked about despite some of them making larger impacts than other white scientists at the time. niccoe https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159877969 2021-02-03 17:08:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159877969 daniellam41 https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1159882276 Mae Jemison got a BS Chemical Engineering and BA African and African-American Studies from Stanford and a Doctorate in Medicine from Cornell

I also can appreciate what she did later in life which was to give back to her community by being the first to provide therapy for kids in Harlem. She was also inspirational as she started college pursuing physics and math, and ended up as the psychologist that proved the negative effects of segregation on the African American youth.

White men were thought to have higher intellect and enough prestige to understand such an advanced subject as science. There was also the fact that there were different social norms back in the day. Women were expected to stay home, and POC were expected to do low-ranking jobs. While many women and POC fought back against these norms, the effects of having those norms are unfortunately still seen today. The science fields still have more opening up to do, to both women and POC.

According to that standard, white men were the only ones with the ability to partake in the science field. Even if there were women or people of color in this field it was not documented or publicized and because of it to this day it is still viewed as a field that is predominantly white men. In addition people of color and women do not get the same opportunities as white men in terms of schooling and occupation. ]]> 2021-02-05 13:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1168121372 peterd44 https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/1168310413 I appreciated the story of Mamie Phipps Clark because I read about the Doll Experiment which had such a big impact on Brown v.

It was very inspiring to see the degrees Mrs. Clark possessed and her life-long commitment to youth development, achievements made all the more difficult since she was a black woman.

I want to minor in psychology and this was really empowering to hear. Not only this, I love how she wanted to be a librarian when she was younger and ended up becoming an influential psychologist. I relate with this because initially I thought my life's calling was becoming the president of the USA but now I want to have a major in entrepreneurship with a minor in psychology :). I really relate to her career change. I love working with people and want to help people as well! Her work and contributions to disabled children warms my heart because I feel like there isn't enough done for disabled children so it was really sweet seeing that! :)]]> 2022-02-28 20:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/2070243106 Ruth Winifred Howard saharuo2789 https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/2070250333 She went to University of Minnesota, Columbia University, The University of Chicago and Simmons University.

She received her bachelor's and master's degree from Simmons in social work.

She then received her PHD from University of Minnesota in psychology and child development.

For example, I did not know Mamie Phipps Clark's research was used in the groundbreaking Brown v. Board of Education case. If it weren't for her, I don't think segregation would've stopped in schools and there wouldn't have been that much emphasis on how such conditions affect children. I was only familiar with the doll experiment but I never knew it was her that made the experiment and honestly I'm glad I do now. That doll experiment is so important today like I still think of it now.]]> 2022-02-28 20:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/2070255715 saharuo2789 https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/2070262996 I think it's due to a lot of deep-rooted stigma against black people in terms of invalidating their research and not taking their work seriously just because they're black. Not only this, education was really difficult for black people to obtain due to segregation and finances. More specifically, black women were more underrepresented and overshadowed due to the fact that they're a woman in a STEM field which is a "masculine" field and due to them being black. It's genuinely really frustrating and sad because for instance, Clark's work was overshadowed by her husband. In short, it's due to internalized stigma and stereotypes that were historically deep rooted. ]]> 2022-02-28 20:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/2070262996 I appreciate Mamie P. Clark because her doll test was instrumental in Brown v. Board, which is a law case I am very familiar with. It proved that segregation did affect the self-image of many black children. Additionally, Clark was a social psychologist, and I find that sector of science to be particularly interesting. kathyannew https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/2070410745 2022-02-28 22:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/2070410745 Clark graduated from Howard University with both a Bachelor's and Master's, and then went on to Columbia University, graduating with a P.H.D. kathyannew https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/2070411284 2022-02-28 22:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ksirian/j6ai46prghh63t2v/wish/2070411284 Clark's response to white males who dominated the industry and responded negatively to her studies was super impressive!
