Who am I:

Tyson is a 4th year PhD Candidate in chemistry at Yale University. His research involves the development of novel chemical tools for advanced biological imaging. He has taught and tutored numerous subjects and has played a large role in the training of Yale's chemistry TA's for the last 3 years. Fresh Professor is Tyson's way of living out his dreams of being a "pop culture scientist" and full time science communicator.

Black and brown people are vastly underrepresented in science, tech, and engineering. Although Black people report desiring to major in STEM at the same rate as their white counterparts, they are less than half as likely to end up in STEM-related jobs (US Census Bureau). And in a world that is increasingly high-tech and automated, this representation gap is a serious cause for concern. There are many factors that contribute to this problem, from the School-to-Prison Pipeline and the defunding of public education to corporate culture and depictions of Black people in the media. How do we bring together educators, universities, policy-makers, and employers to unleash the potential of Black people in the sciences? What can we learn from local efforts to close the representation gap?

Ebony O. McGee, PhD, of Vanderbilt University has spent more than a decade researching racialized experiences and racial stereotypes that adversely affect the education and career trajectories of underrepresented groups of color. In this talk, McGee discusses the impact STEM culture has on innovation while sharing ideas for a more inclusive culture that does more than promote diversity by building an inclusive supportive environment for underrepresented racially minoritized people.

This event was hosted as part of the series Amplified: Race and Reality in STEM. Amplified: Race and Reality in STEM aims to give a national platform to speakers to have candid conversations around race and diversity in the STEM fields. Launched in 2020 as part of Gladstone’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, this series is hosted in partnership with Georgia Tech, the Molecular Engineering & Sciences Institute at University of Washington, and The University of Texas at Austin. We hope these discussions spark change throughout the sciences.

More African Americans are heading to college these days but a new study finds that too many are in low earning majors.

A study by Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce notes that African Americans who got Bachelor's Degrees in STEM fields science, technology, engineering and mathematics can earn up to 50 percent more than those who majored in arts, psychology or social work.

A recent study by Georgetown University's Center for Education and the Workforce shows that African American students enroll at a higher rate in majors that will yield lower paying jobs, and enroll at lower rates in STEM fields. Students at UT say part of the problem is representation, but others wonder if the issue isn't enrollment rates, but rather how different jobs are valued.

*Correction: a name key in this story misspelled the name of Dr. Colette Pierce Burnette, President of Huston-Tillotson University. Our sincerest apologies.

2015 There is a reason why Black Afrikan people are not attracted to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in great numbers. The answer is shockingly simple to the point of lunacy. Tune in to find out the obvious answer just in case you haven't figured it out yet.

For any problem, you fix the problem at the root, the source. For anything you want to create, you start at the root, the source, because everything flows from there. Here, I present some cold, hard, statistics on whether or not there is a talent shortage for black Americans in top companies and whether or not this issue should even be framed as a problem to be solved.

Exponential and logistic growth, carrying capacity, and limiting factors to population growth.

J Richard Gott leads a journey through the history of our understanding of the Universe’s structure, and explains the ‘cosmic web’: the idea that our Universe is like a sponge made up of clusters of galaxies intricately connected by filaments of galaxies.

J. Richard Gott's book "The Cosmic Web: Mysterious Architecture of the Universe" is available for purchase now - https://geni.us/EtIx

J Richard Gott was among the first cosmologists to propose that the structure of our Universe is like a sponge made up of clusters of galaxies intricately connected by filaments of galaxies – a magnificent structure now called the 'cosmic web'. In this talk he shows how ambitious telescope surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey are transforming our understanding of the cosmos, and how the cosmic web holds vital clues to the origins of the universe and the next trillion years that lie ahead.

J Richard Gott is Emeritus Professor of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University and is noted for his contributions to cosmology and general relativity.
