“It is truly an honor to work alongside such inspiring and hardworking Black scientists,” said Selwyn Vickers, M.D., senior vice president and dean of the UAB School of Medicine in a press release. “Their work is continuously pushing the boundaries of what we know about science.”
The list was compiled by The Community of Scholars, a group of scientists and educators aiming to increase diversity across all scientific fields, according to the release. The group is made up of postdoctoral fellows, instructors and more.
