Shirley Ann Jackson

It's Black History Month! This week, I talk about Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson. She is America's first black, female physicist to earn her doctorate.  This month I am honoring the black, noble goddesses in STEM who inspire, motivate, and forge paths for those who have been marginalized. Each week I talk about one of my favorite sheroes who succeeded despite our structural racism and antiquated gender bias.   If you are interested in reading more about the history of math and science, please visit me on my blog at www.MathScienceHistory.com !
