Initial big-picture planning

Looking at Project Biodiversity:

Project Biodiversify

Tools to diversify and humanize biology courses

projectbiodiversify.wpcomstaging.com

💡

Project Biodiversify provides ready-to-use examples of research concepts that highlight a diverse set of biologists. We aim to align our research examples with core biology curricula and, at the same time, highlight and humanize researchers as role models for students from many walks of life.

"High-quality research examples done by amazing biologists from under-represented or marginalized groups"

Things to include in slide-deck???:

ask people what they would like to see / what type of information would be helpful for a classroom setting
images (Professional photo, personal photo)
summary of a research paper
societal relevance of work
research summary

Format of slide deck???:

Google slides? Powerpoint?
Project Biodiversity uses 3 slides: Researcher profile, Study System, Key Figure.
Ready-to-present with presenter notes + additional information available on website
Start with Powerpoint slides and maybe integrate them into a website

Collecting information:

Online searching
Get suggestions from McGill staff
Maybe have a way to submit a slide: Google form to fill out?

Have the option of either filling out the form or just providing the name of the researcher.

Black History Month Presentation

Are you looking for information about famous scientists and innovators in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math for Black History Month? Students from our 4-H Agri-Science in the City clubs learn annually about the impacts made during Black History Month. Check out just a few of our highlighted leaders.

Minority Physicist Profiles

Physicists don't all work in labs or teach physics, although many do, and love their jobs. A physics degree will qualify you for a variety of careers from inventing to analyzing to improving. Find out the diversity of physics by exploring the jobs of these physicists. Think physics and medicine don't mix?

Who are the Black Physicists?

The Physicists - 100 (click on links below for more) Sylvester J. Gates Shirley A. Jackson Arthur B. C. Walker Also see : Jami M. Valentine's web site on Black Women in Physics and Astronomy .I dedicate this web site to two of my Physics teachers, Dr. Herman Branson and Dr. Julius Taylor.

Developing world: The minority minority

Patchanita Thamyongkit was waiting patiently near the stage at a conference on the importance of science for Thailand, when the organizer rushed up to her and asked whether she had seen the next presenter, Professor Thamyongkit. "That's me," she replied. An awkward pause followed. "Oh, I thought you were his secretary," came his reply.

Other ideas:

create a landing page with information/statistics about minorities in physics.

Minority Physics Statistics

APS and the American Institute of Physics (AIP) Statistical Research Center provide a variety of statistics on minorities in physics in the US. AIP Minorities in Physics Statistics APS generates statistical reports on minorities in physics. Current reports are shown below. These reports are freely available for your use.
