This resource contains information on 30 different scientist from the past and the present that are black or from an ethnic minority. This is a great resource to use for Black History Month to show to students during mentor/tutor time or to be input into the science curriculum. It is time we show our students the diversity of scientists that are out there and how we need to increase the amount of black people going into science. It is about time that a black scientist wins one of the Nobel prizes in science (as of 2020). Updated to include a few other scientist/astronauts Please let me know if you like this resource and what next you would like to see!
