Spent 2 days @MGMNatlHarbor for my 25th anniversary and I have to say the experience was pretty hit or miss. For such a relatively new property, a lot could be done to elevate the experience. That said, my aesthetician, Whitney was awesome and Brooklyn at the spa works hard.

I cannot believe this. They are really trying to bring back colonialism and double down on hate. Not today.

I think this data will to be super useful and inform strategies for drawing Black students to physics and astronomy. Now once they're there, how do we ensure they feel like they belong & are properly supported? #TEAMUPTogether #BlackinPhysics #BlackinAstro @NSBPInc.
What inspires Black physics students to study physics? @AIP_Stats asked the class of 2022, and here’s what they had to say: .🚀 Informal exposure to science: 56%.🎥 Movies or TV: 49%.🔭 Personal hobby: 42%. Learn more here:

I was pleased to be able to discuss the importance of building coalitions for DEI efforts in the physical sciences recently @APSphysics Annual Leadership Meeting. For systemic change, we must not go it alone, it takes strategic partnerships built on trust.
How do we succeed at building an inclusive STEMM enterprise through strategic coalitions? — a tremendous conversation at the @APSphysics annual leadership meeting, including a focus on @AIP_TEAMUP. @AIP_HQ @AAS_Office @AAPTHQ @SPSNational @SOA_2050 @PA_SEAChange

It's why I think physics depts should partner with math depts to provide comprehensive, nonjudgmental math support to these students so they can achieve greater success in physics and astronomy. It's called #Equity.

Unsurprisingly, this new study by @EdTrust and Just Equations found that high achieving Black & Latino students lack access to advance math courses.

I had a wonderful time @GoogleCloudTech in NYC listening to the "Father's of the Internet" Vint Cerf & Bob Kahn who developed the TC/PIP protocol, give details on how it all came to be. Thanks to Google Cloud & @AIP_HQ Foundationfor this wonderful event!

@Aawip_com No takers? Ok, what are the characteristics of a physics program that is best at supporting Black students?.

Questions. Which physics departments, in your experience or opinion, are the best at supporting Black students? What made them good or great? No negative reviews here please. #blackinphysics #blackinastro #blackinx @Aawip_com.

It was such a special experience to give a plenary at #AAPTSM23 and share our vision and progress on #TEAMUPTogether. I know that together we can reach our goal of creating change & doubling the number of Black students earning bachelor's degrees in physics and astronomy by 2030.
#AAPTSM23 Plenary talk given by Arlene Modeste Knowles, Project Manager and the primary driver for the American Institute of Physics TEAM-UP Project and TEAMUP Together collective action initiatives. #AAPTMeeting #AAPTConference

Every @NSBPInc meeting, and particularly this first ever Student Leadership Development Summit, leaves me feeling energized and reinvigorated to keep working toward equity and justice. Thank you for including me on this incredible panel. ✨️#BlackinPhysics #BlackinAstro.
Insightful, vulnerable and open discussion with our experienced panelists on navigating spaces in STEM as an underrepresented minority @Physics70 @ArleneMKnowles @ximenaccid1 #SLDS23 #BlackinPhysics #LatinXinSTEM #NSBP #NSHP

Job Opportunities at Hampton U. physics!.
My alma mater @_hamptonu is hiring hundreds of faculty/staff/administrators. Some departments, like mathematics and physics, have 5 or more positions available. There is new leadership and I can now once again recommend that you apply.

In her Presidential Address at the @AAASmeetings, Gilda Barbino, asked, "How can we ensure that anyone who desires to pursue science can?"This has been my mission throughout my career. My answer is to fight oppression, create opportunities, and open doors as much as I can. #AAAS
