Earlier this week I put out a request for people who identify as scientists, engineers, or as working in a technical field who also happen to identify as women or people of color to share a picture of themselves and a brief summary of what they do and who they are.
The response so far has been pretty amazing.
As of writing this, I've received 9 profiles (some are shared below), and had many other people tell me they're planning on sending in a profile.
However, I'd love an entire wall full of profiles of women and people of color working in the sciences. There's no reason I can't keep adding to the wall throughout the school year, so feel free to share this with any of your science-y friends, colleagues, family, or even enemies. 🙂 (here's the link to the instructions & template)
Thanks again for those who have taken the time to share and send in profiles. It's much appreciated.
[Update] Changing student perceptions flyers are rolling in! http://t.co/NdhodcqNJA
I was wondering if you have any more of these flyers. I teach math in a inner city vocational high school in Philadelphia and I think that posting these on a set of unused lockers outside my classroom would be awesome. It would inspire my students to think about what they can do with what they learned in class. Any number of flyers would be awesome. Thanks.
