Acknowledging Contributions of Black STEM Professionals

In a recent newsletter from BioCT, a blog post written by J.P. Carroll was shared titled, “Black History Month: Black trailblazers in science and biotechnology that you need to know.” Link to the article is below. Here at Beyond the PhD, we felt sharing this content to our community is important as it helps to recognize the vast accomplishments of marginalized individuals who so often were not accredited or appreciated for their work in real time.

BioCT considers itself “the industry voice for bioscience” in Connecticut. They provide various resources to enhance the CT bioscience ecosystem such as entrepreneurship, government advocacy, education, and mentoring. To learn more about BioCT, go to https://bioct.org/.
