Underrepresented Astrophysicists Awarded Black Hole Physics Internships

Center for Astrophysics The Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian has welcomed two new summer interns thanks to a partnership between the National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP) and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO). Established in 2020, the NSBP/SAO Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Scholars Program awards internships in cutting-edge black hole research to early career physicists from underrepresented backgrounds. The paid internships are awarded competitively and last 8-10 weeks. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all interns will work remotely this year. The internship includes mentorship opportunities with expert astrophysicists and members of the EHT collaboration, the international consortium of astronomers responsible for capturing the first image of a black hole in 2019.

The Back Page

The Back Page By George Campbell Jr. In 1876, Edward Bouchet received a PhD in physics from Yale University. Just two years earlier, he had graduated Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa, also from Yale, with a bachelor’s degree in physics. His remarkable academic success and substantial early contributions to research as a graduate student suggested a promising future in physics. Except for one thing. Edward Bouchet was Black. Bouchet’s doctorate was, in fact, the first-ever PhD awarded to an African American by an American university in any field. Initially intent on a research career after graduation, Bouchet could find a job only at the Institute for Colored Youth in Philadelphia. At the pinnacle of his career, his last job, he served as principal of a high school in Ohio [1].
