School is in session on Martin Luther King day. Although at first glance, it might seem challenging to incorporate the legacy of MLK into the science classroom, but it can actually be really straightforward. In my classes, we are going to be discussing minority scientists that helped pave the way for future generations of scientists. Even though I'm reminded of my minority status in my field nearly daily, it still is shocking to read about how far women in the sciences have come in recent decades.
So whether you mention the contributions of underrepresented minorities in the sciences directly in class or through an email, consider incorporating a bit of this into your lectures during this very historical week.
Oh, and happy end-of-Bush week!!!!
