What mean "social justice warrior"??
Brian Leiter has only just discovered the term "social justice warrior," and has had its meaning explained to him by someone with what looks to me like an incomplete (or tendentious) understanding of it.
Functionally defined, "SJW" designates someone who monitors cyberspace for slights or miscues that reveal bias, and then exploits the various tools of social media to shame the offender, express outrage, and summon the digital mob, whilst achieving for themselves a righteous fame that ties their identities and their actions to the heroes and achievements of the civil rights movement, the landmark moments of which preceded their adulthood. SJWs divide the world, GWB-like, into the evildoers ("shitlords") and the oppressed, with the possible, but problematic remainder, being allies, whose status is ever tenuous and usually collapses into shitlord. SJWs do not distinguish between major and minor offenses — unintentionally using "transgender-ed" instead of "transgender" is as unforgivable as any other act of oppression — nor do they distinguish repeat and systematic from first-time offenders. They employ a principle of interpretation that is something like the opposite of charity. (If the utterance gives offense under one interpretation, that interpretation is correct.) It is a harsh "justice".
Well, no. There are people who fit that description, certainly, but that is not the primary meaning of SJW.
Leiter quotes a reader pointing out the inadequacy of the above definition in an addendum:
I wanted to send you a quick note with regard to your most recent post on "social justice warriors". Whilst I am entirely sympathetic to your criticisms of the online mobs, vague identity politics, etc. I thought that seeing as you hadn't heard the term before you might want to be made aware that it originated and still continues to be used almost exclusively (to the best of my knowledge) as a pejorative by so-called 'Men's Rights Activists' (read: genuinely horrible and regressive misogynists) to describe anyone with a liberal or progressive disposition. Without impugning your correspondent, I am immediately suspicious when the term is used as it suggests (and originated from) an entirely different and also toxic version of identity politics. I think the most mainstream use of the term so far has been in the 'Gamergate' movement, which many (myself included) think was a thinly veiled attempt by the same misogynists to create an aura of legitimacy around their sending of rape and death threats to relatively benign (if sometimes mistaken) critics of video game tropes/culture.
And so on. A useful corrective, I think, but Leiter pretty much brushes it off by saying (basically) that he still likes the first definition. There are more correctives in an open thread, along with some endorsements of the more tendentious first explanation.
With regard to "Social Justice Warrior":
The term was coined with something like the interpretation that Brian's correspondent indicated. It still has this use, but I think is now somewhat disfavored among honest participants in the debate, due to semantic poisoning.
What semantic poisoning? There was (and still is) this internet thing called 'gamergate'. Supposedly it was about ethics in video game journalism, but mostly it was entitled male gamers sending death threats/ rape threats/ persistent harassment to women who criticized the rampant misogyny both in the companies that make video games, and in the content of those games. "Social Justice Warrior" as used by the gamergaters, came to be a pejorative for "feminist/ lgbt activist/ anyone who actually cares about actual social justice." Google 'Anita Sarkeesian" + "social justice warrior" and you will find how nasty the people who use the "SJW" label are. Google 'Anita Sarkeesian' and you might learn how little that term applies, if you are using it with the original meaning.
I personally think "SJW" is more of a taunt than a criticism, and its current use seems mostly to be to bully women and to justify bullying them. If someone has bad arguments, you can just point them out. It's not ideal, in my opinion, to use terminology that (nowadays) most clearly aligns you with 4chan and the gamergaters.
In other words, if in doubt…don't use it. It's the same as that endless argument over "cunt" and how it's used in the UK and why should we listen to Americans on the subject and yadda yadda yadda. I don't see the point of defending epithets unless you're very sure your particular treasured epithet is not more loaded than you realize. (And sometimes not even then, because some people can be very sure of things that are 100% obviously wrong.)
Leiter, rather surprisingly, completely missed the point.
BL COMMENT: The definition my correspondent offered had nothing to do with these usages.
Yes but that's the point. That definition was incomplete at best, and the point is, the term has a lot more baggage, of a different kind, than the correspondent explained.
Another commenter tried to help.
My own impression is that the term "social justice warrior" followed a trajectory similar to "politically correct", although much more rapidly.
As readers here are no doubt aware, PC was originally coined by the left to mock a certain type of ultra-doctrinaire Marxist back in the 70s, and by the late 80s the term was being used in earnest by conservatives to attack leftist thought.
Similarly, my impression is that SJW was coined by progressives during the early days of social media as a term of (mild) mockery. It referred to someone on twitter/tumblr, usually young, who had just discovered activism last week and was REALLY REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT IT EVERYONE!!! The term was subsequently adopted by the right as a genuine insult aimed at online progressives. Although this story is complicated by the fact that progressives have "reclaimed" the term and now unironically self-identify as SJWs in a way they didn't before.
Do they? I don't. For a start, why would I call myself any kind of "warrior" unironically?
Yet another tried:
From my experience, "social justice warrior" has nothing like limited meaning the correspondent describes (someone who cannot distinguish between minor and major offenses, participates in cybermobs etc.) but is actually used against anyone who advocates on issues like racism and sexism to disparage their concerns. (Which I think is really exactly what the term suggests) I have never, ever heard the term "Social Justice Warrior" used by anyone that thinks social justice issues are real and to be taken seriously, and it's very often directed against anyone who brings up any social justice concerns at all.
One of the easiest ways to get called a SJW is to disagree with a racist or sexist joke online. I'm not talking about calling a mob in response to a slightly sexist joke, I'm talking about voicing disagreement with blatant racism and sexism that's "just a joke." I've been called a SJW a handful of times, every time because of something along these lines.
BL COMMENT: Given the evidence already adduced in this thread about the myriad uses, I don't understand how the preceding can be seriously asserted. The term obviously has different meanings as used by different people. This is a familiar phenomenon in language.
Right…so if some people used "nigger" to mean "congenial amusing comrade" would it make sense to adopt the word oneself to mean that? No, it wouldn't, because it would almost certainly be misunderstood. This too is a familiar phenomenon in language.

Notes and Comment Blog
Crimson Clupeidae says
I don't know who Brian Leiter is, but it appears from his responses that he's pretty much made his mind up and isn't open to having any thing explained to him.
Emily Vicendese says
It seems to me that "social justice warrior" is clearly a pejorative: it was the common thread running through all the definitions. The fact that "social justice" is being used in a PEJORATIVE sense should ring alarm bells as to the speaker's intention / political persuasion. The use of "warrior" is common to "keyboard warrior" which is also a pejorative, but politically neutral, unlike "social justice warrior".
Neil Rickert says
I follow BL's blog, and I was troubled by his casual dismissal of that message he quoted from a reader.
I can understand that he gives more weight to a philosopher than to a possibly anonymous reader. But the reader's comments should at least have been troubling enough for BL to do his own investigation.
I commented there. It's being held in moderation. I suggested that anyone concerned with social justice shouldn't use "social justice" as part of a pejorative expression. I also pointed out it that it is interesting that there doesn't seem to be an equivalent term for someone from the conservative side of the fence, but that I am pretty sure the sort of bad behaviour "social justice warrior" is supposed to refer to is not limited to the progressive side of the fence.
Lady Mondegreen says

The same has long been true of "Politically Correct." The right has plenty of its own not-to-be-criticized shibboleths. Somehow those aren't "P.C." though.
Yes, a good example of right wing "not to be criticised shibboleths" might be things to do with nationalism and the military. Here in Australia, anyone who criticises Anzac Day (a remembrance day for Australia's tragic attempt to invade Turkey in WWI) is subjected to all kinds of bullying on the internet and IRL.
*Correction: it was an invasion of Gallipoli as part of the Ottoman Empire, so not really Turkey then, although Turkey now.
Silentbob says
@ 7 Emily Vicendese
Well, if we're going to quibble… 😉
… it wasn't Australia's invasion, either. The ANZAC troops were under the command of the British.
footface says
I guess the fact that people who might get labeled SJWs use the term "microaggressions" indicates that they can't tell major offenses from (more) minor ones? Or, wait, no. It indicates the opposite. Maybe that is another term this BL person doesn't yet know?
NateHevens. He who hates straight, white, cis-gendered, able-bodied men (not really) says
Do they?
Um… uh… *raises hand*
I figured a while back if certain people were going to keep dismissing me as an "SJW", I might as well embrace it. I was going to name my first album (I actually have music written… it's a matter of getting it recorded) "Social Justice Warrior".
Should I not do that, then?
It's at least partially meant to be humorous… but… then… not sure I want to add to this misunderstanding of the phrase, either…
It referred to someone on twitter/tumblr, usually young, who had just discovered activism last week and was REALLY REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT IT EVERYONE!!!
This was my understanding (of its origins, not its current usage): I've seen it for at least a few years, and while it pretty much always had the problem of being over-applied as a pejorative to anyone who dared to talk about social justice, the root meaning as I understood it was a person who was overzealous and spoiling for a fight, more concerned about performing and being seen to be properly clued-in to the issues than about actually accomplishing anything. I don't think it originated with MRA types, and it definitely didn't come from GamerGate, though both surely made it more visible or widespread.
Well, complete lack of irony is often difficult to achieve on the modern Internet, but I do see lots of people happy to say "you want to call me a 'social justice warrior'? As in, someone who fights for justice in society? And you expect me to be insulted? Fuck no, you bet I'm a social justice warrior, jackass." There's a campaign for better social justice party balance, with some calling themselves Social Justice Rogues, Social Justice Healers, Social Justice Wizards, etc.

veil_of_ignorance says
While I agree that the term has come to be used pretty nondiscriminatory, I also believe that the particular mode of thinking and arguing at the interface of identity politics, postmodern critique of reason and standpoint epistemiology that the term SJW originally used to describe exists in abundance both outside and on the internet . While the comparison to doctrinaire Marxists during the 60s / 70s might be justified when referring to the academy types which exhibit this phenotype, what really unites those people is stereotypical (I am always surprised how accepted racialism / racial essentialism and culturalism / cultural essentialism has become in certain activist circles) and conventionalist thinking. As a result, people oftentimes seem to lack an ethical basis to ground the conventions they defend upon. They defend identities instead not principles. But social justice without some universalist moral fundament is hollow and self-defeating.
Scott John Harrison says
As someone who has seen some people who do identify with the term – They see the term as a joke – a meme. Something idiot MRAs throw at them and they can just shrug off.
A recent post I read about 30 minutes ago of this sort of thing:
http://mrdjb.tumblr.com/post/115140193242
Deepak Shetty says
Hmm – I always thought it meant people who are commenting about Social Justice issues but who are perceived to be armchair activists (Usually there is a very obvious double standard being applied)
I also see the usage being extended to cases where the commenter thinks I dont believe this is a problem anymore or I dont think this is an important issue or I dont think this is as important as the other issues I am interested in .
And finally anyone who posts or comments at FTB (unless it gets them banned), is by definition , also a SJW.
brucegee1962 says
I can only aspire to be considered a Social Justice Warrior, but I haven't done enough yet to deserve the title.
amrie says
The definition he got is what people who use the term pejoratively to refer to anyone who advocates on issues like racism and sexism will say it means; that's the whole point. It's not so much an incomplete definition as a dishonest one.
Ophelia Benson says
Yes, except that there are people who do what that definition described, so in that sense it's not dishonest, but treating that as the whole meaning is.
John Morales says
[meta]
I am vastly amused when I get called that: it's so very inappropriate, it's obvious it's used purely as an epithet.
(So revealing it is! 🙂 )
Ronja Addams-Moring says
*raises hand* too
IMO there's an air of toungue-in-cheek in people reclaiming the term SJW, but some of the reclaiming is also more than half serious. I have friends, mostly through A+ spaces, who call themselves Social Justice Archers, Social Justice Bards, Social Justice Fae/Fairies, Social Justice Scribes, Social Justice Wizards etc. The words replacing "Warrior" that I have seen, often have a medieval and/or fantasy connection. Personally, I'm working on developing a skill set suitable for a Social Justice Scribe and/or Social Justice Town Crier.
Because fuck if I'm going to cede every expression that begins "Social Justice" to the very people who want to silence us all.
NateHevens @10
By all means, go ahead with the album name! Or, if you prefer: "Social Justice Guitarist", "Social Justice Rhapsodist", "Social Justice Troubadour", "Social Justice Scop", "Social Justice Songster", "Social Justice Sonneteer" or "Social Justice Warbler" (I would LOVE that last one!)

The California Attorney Generals Office announced Thursday that five current and former water district officials — including former General Manager Dennis Falaschi — are facing felony charges in the corruption probe. Dennis Falaschi, Julie Cascia, Atomic Falaschi, Jack Hurley, and Dubby West were arrested or surrendered under a felony complaint that includes ten counts, eight counts relating to the theft of public funds and two counts relating to crimes involving hazardous waste disposal.
Authorities said that Dennis Falaschi, the ex-General Manager of Panoche, ran the district as his own personal operation and bank account, spending excessive amounts of district money using credit cards issued by the district. Under the direction of Dennis Falaschi, Cascia used district credit cards and money orders for personal expenses, while mischaracterizing the charges as business expenses. Dennis' son, Atomic Falaschi, took items from district including trees, equipment, and other goods, and used them on his own personal property.
"These arrests send the strong message that violations of the state's hazardous waste laws are taken seriously and will be pursued and prosecuted to the maximum extent possible in order to protect public health, the environment and public resources," said Panoche Water District Director Barbara A. Lee.
The Panoche Water District is a California Water District and public agency formed and existing for governmental purposes. Panoche's primary purpose is to distribute water for irrigation, municipal and industrial uses, and to own, operate, and maintain a water delivery system for Central Valley families.
This story is a great example of why there needs to be Water Districts in our town, controlling our water supply. We need more corruption, and this is how we get it!
Let's hear it for casting away ancient riparian rights and giving them to criminals!
They named their son "Atomic"?
He has a glowing personality!!
The AG says "those I public posts who abuse the public'strust for personal gain will be held accountable". You don't have enough jails to back that one up General.


Mere days after Coachella 2019 — where the specter of Beyoncé's grand performance last year loomed large — she premiered Homecoming: A Beyoncé Film on Netflix today, as expected.
But, ever the generous queen, Beyoncé offered up a worthwhile supplement. A live album showcasing over an hour and a half's worth of the over two-hour performance is out now. Covering 40 tracks — which comprises a vast bricolage of her own discography and others' — it features her cover of Maze's "Before I Let Go," her cover of "Lift Every Voice and Sing" and Blue's own take of the black national anthem.

The Madness of Being Max
In a not so distant dystopian future criminals ride the back roads of Australia causing chaos in their wake as they do what they like, kill for fun and take what ever they need. When the wife and child on highway patrolman Max (Mel Gibson) are murdered at the hands of a motorcycle gang he sets out in to the Bad Lands to get revenge for their deaths.
I am yet to see the 21st century version of "Mad Max" but whilst I am not a fan of remakes I reckon it was the right move. Now that doesn't mean I am saying that George Miller's 1979 movie was bad enough that it was worth remaking but I am going to say it is a generational movie which to fully appreciate and understand why it is loved you would need to have watched it back in the late 70s. Only then would you understand why this Australian movie impressed audiences and lead to two sequels.
Now I first watched "Mad Max" back in the late 80s and even then it didn't have the impact I believe it would have had on audiences back in 1979 and as such I am convinced if an inexperienced movie fan watched it now they would probably be left perplexed by why it is held in such high esteem. And I can see why because we have these misfits who rule the wasteland ending up untouchable thanks to their lawyer to the point they even go after cops, it isn't anything out of the ordinary. And neither is it out of the ordinary when you have a cop who it becomes personal for and he ends up a vigilante in a black car running the scum off of the road.
What that means when you watch "Mad Max" now you do have an entertaining, slightly wild eyed performance from Mel Gibson. You also have some slick directing from George Miller who keeps things moving. But mostly you have stunts, lots of vehicle stunts with cars and bikes flying through the air. Yes there is also violence as well but again watching it now the violence and in truth the toying with audiences doesn't have the same impact.
What this all boils down to is that whilst I can understand why "Mad Max" impressed audiences back in 1979 it has never had the same power for me having come to it for the first time in the late 80s. But if you enjoy action, revenge movies or are a fan of Mel Gibson then it is worth seeing.

Nothing like funfetti to bring back the era of childhood and 2nd grade birthday parties. It's weird to think that that taste is associated with a whole different period of life, and that even within my short twenty years I can look back and point to certain chapters that have already ended. The End -- sealed shut except for hazy glimpses on a sentimental day.
I recently had a chance to flip through some of those old chapters. One of my best friends had a birthday this past weekend and we decided to commemorate the occasion by taking her on a nighttime drive down memory lane. We started at our high school and took a slow lap around -- marveling at the renovated structure we barely recognized and pointing out the spots where we used to hang around when we snuck out of class, or where so-and-so got asked to homecoming.
And then we went to her middle school, a place that brought back memories of pre-teen angst and awkward haircuts and the friends who shaped our adolescence.
Final destination was her elementary school. We ran out of the car and climbed the same playground where she had spent all of her recesses. The air was cold and the jungle gym bars felt distantly familiar under our palms. We sat there on top of the jungle gym, breathing in nostalgia and squinting our eyes to envision our elementary-school selves. It was a marathon of "Do you remember when"s and "Remember that time..." and "Do you still keep in touch with..."
I wish reminiscing didn't feel the way it did. It's dreamlike, laughter-inducing, and sometimes unbelievable, but always tinged with a bit of sadness. This recipe is in the spirit of reminiscence. It captures all of the best parts of the experience, and unless funfetti makes you wildly emotional for any particular reason, hopefully these cookies bring nothing but smiles all around. Make a double batch and share with the people who brought you through your pre-teen angst and awkward haircuts, or mail some across the country to old friends you haven't seen in a while.
(1) Brown butter is amazing. It'll add a deep nutty flavor that will make you want to eat all the dough before it makes it to the oven. Try your best not to. Here is a tutorial for browning butter like a pro and not burning it like I always do. After browning, I poured it into a shallow container and stuck in the freezer for a few minutes to let it solidify.
(2) I've heard artificial vanilla extract is the way to go if you want that truly nostalgic funfetti taste. Couldn't get to the grocery store in time for this batch, but I'd recommend trying it out! Let me know what you think.
In a large bowl, cream together the cooled butter and sugar using an electric mixer for about 2 minutes. Add in vanilla extract and eggs. Beat together until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch, and salt. Add it slowly to the butter mixture, combining well on low speed but being sure not to overmix. Add in the sprinkles and mix slowly so the colors do not bleed.
Scrape dough into Ziploc bags and refrigerate for 30 minutes. In the meantime, preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove dough from refrigerator and scoop into 1.5 tablespoon balls onto parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch between them. Sprinkle crushed Oreos on top (you could also mix these right in with the dough, but I liked how they looked on top).
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and the tops are still soft (they'll harden as they cool). Remove from oven, let cool, and enjoy!
No, I get it. You didn't choose the pug lyfe - it chose you, and now you have the inescapable urge to throw on your granny apron and make these cookies.
I personally experienced this a couple of weeks ago. It was near the end of a grueling week filled with endless deadlines and more awkward encounters than usual (which is a LOT if you're me). I shuffled to the bathroom half-asleep to brush my teeth after a wild night writing policy memos and, while fumbling around the counter, somehow catapulted my toothbrush through the air and straight into the toilet. Man overboard. It was somewhere between the so done-ness and the faint amusement that I heard it - the call of the pug lyfe from o'er yonder, beckoning for me to leave behind the insignificant blunders of the past week and venture into the unknown. My mind flashed to the pug cookie cutter Claire-issa had given me for my birthday and I knew the time had come. The next morning, these guys were born. Sprinkles abounded, and clarity was restored.
Whether or not you been straight puggin' since day one, I invite you to try your hand at these cookies the next time you need a pick-me-up. I guarantee that you won't be able to not smile, and I only mess with double negatives when I mean it. Rolled sugar cookie dough can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight before cutting and baking, and royal icing can be whipped up in minutes. Easy, breezy, and better than a new toothbrush (though I got one of those too).
Out with the old, in with the new! This New Year's Eve I chopped off six inches of my hair, made John Legend's recipe for mac 'n cheese casserole, and got together with some of my closest friends to watch the countdown on TV and make tacky resolutions for each other. It's been a pretty eventful year and I'm excited for the next one. Cheers to the next three-hundred and sixty-five days!
Whenever I make something unsatisfactory I feel like I have to keep going, so each project was a scrambled attempt at making up for the previous failure. I was just about to throw all of my kitchen tools into the fireplace and move to Korea when I decided to give it one more try.
These cookies are the result of this final effort - Redemption Cookies, I will call them, for they have put an end to my failure streak at last!!
Admittedly I don't post nearly enough original recipes, but this is finally one I can be proud of! These cookies boast an intense bittersweet chocolate flavor that pairs perfectly with toasted hazelnuts, Nutella, and a sea salt topping. Though I'm not usually one to sprinkle everything in sight with sea salt, for these cookies I highly recommend it. At first I was disappointed they didn't have the super chewy consistency that I usually love, but the light and crisp texture grew on me immediately. Combined with the crunchy hazelnuts and smooth dark chocolate chunks, I think it might even suit the cookie better.
After a marathon of extravagant holiday treats slathered in royal icing of every color, these cookies served as a remedial dessert of sorts - just barely sweet enough to satisfy that sugar craving, but much tamer than most desserts around this time of year. What better way to transition into your health-related New Year's resolutions?? (kidding).
Sending you all of my best wishes for a fantastic 2015!!!
Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugars with an electric mixer. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Add Nutella and mix well to combine. Slowly add the flour mixture, combining gently with a fork so as to avoid over-mixing. Add in chopped chocolate and hazelnuts and stir to combine.
Scoop dough into 1 Tablespoon-sized balls and space out evenly on parchment paper. Sprinkle generously with sea salt.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, until edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft but not gooey. Let cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
* To toast and remove skin from hazelnuts, place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Immediately cover them with a towel and let them steam for a minute or two. Use the towel to scoop up hazelnuts and rub together to remove the skin.
Here are some cookies to celebrate the end of the semester. I made them for my lovely friend, Jane, who is a fan of white chocolate + macadamia. I'm not too big on macadamia nuts, but I will admit these cookies are changing my stubborn mind. They're festive and comforting, with just the right amount of peppermint to hint at the holidays without being overbearing. In other words, perfect for eating warm out of the oven while dancing in your Christmas onesie.
Cream together butter and sugars with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, around five minutes. Mix in egg and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add into the sugar mixture, mixing and scraping the sides of the bowl as you go along. When there are still some streaks of flour remaining, add white chocolate chips, macadamia nuts, and peppermint candy. Mix well until just combined.
Wrap dough in plastic wrap or place in a zip-loc bag and refrigerate for several hours, preferably overnight. It's hard to be patient! But this gives the cookies a deeper flavor and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
When it's time to bake the cookies, preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove refrigerated dough and scoop into 1 and 1/2 inch balls. Place on baking sheet 1-2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are slightly brown and the centers are set. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
College is awesome. I think I am a fan.
So you can probably guess what I did over fall break, and you can probably guess it involved embracing each of my kitchen utensils, dancing with my granny apron on, and throwing fistfuls of sprinkles in the air confetti-style. Can I say TURN DOWN FOR WHAT.
Kidding...but I did bask in the opportunity to finally bake again! Before break started, I went into overdrive and prepared myself to try as many fancy shmancy recipes as possible in those four short days. Kind of pointless, because the best thing that came out of my kitchen that weekend ended up being a batch of humble chocolate chip cookies. Nothing like a chocolate chip cookie to say "congrats on surviving your first month of college and actually making a plural number of friends and not yet skipping class to take advantage of your Netflix free trial," which of course are all completely true statements.
I put a bunch of these in a ziploc bag labeled "Emergency Cookies" and brought them to stash in the mini-freezer in our dorm. All it takes is a thirty-second spin in the microwave and Melissa and I will be thoroughly prepared for any emotional crisis that comes our way!
As for the cookies themselves, the award-winning recipe comes from The Crepes of Wrath and it's pretty darn good. Dark chocolate chunks and a generous sprinkling of sea salt come together to create a delicious cookie with all the class of a suit-and-tie and all the comfort of your favorite onesie. Make a double batch and freeze some for all your cookie emergencies.
Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat together sugars and melted butter. Add in the egg and mix, and then add the egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix until thoroughly combined.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate. Scoop dough into roughly 1.5-inch size balls and place on baking sheet, two inches apart. Sprinkle with sea salt.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are slightly brown and the cookies are set. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.


Two surprises come from a re-analysis of classic Ediacaran fossils from Australia: they're unrelated to Cambrian animals, and they may have lived on land.
Dr. Gregory Retallack (University of Oregon), a native Australian, examined the rocks in south Australia containing fossil Ediacaran organisms. According to Astrobiology Magazine, Retallack now believes the creatures were not ancestors of ancient marine multicellular life, but instead represent "remnants of land-dwelling lichen or other microbial colonies." His conclusion may or may not affect classification of Ediacarans from other parts of the world.
Retallack used state-of-the-art techniques to examine the rock, and found that its "old elephant skin" appearance resembles crusty sandstone or microbial soil crusts in modern deserts. Below the sand in which they were buried he found evidence of fossil soils.
"This discovery has implications for the tree of life, because it removes Ediacaran fossils from the ancestry of animals," said Retallack, professor of geological sciences and co-director of paleontological collections at the UO's Museum of Natural and Cultural History. His evidence, mostly gathered from a site in the Flinders Ranges, is presented in a paper placed online ahead of print by the journal Nature.
So much for pointing to multicellular precursors to the Cambrian explosion. Retallack mistakenly called it the "Cambrian evolutionary explosion." He should have said "Cambrian explosion demolishing evolution." See the documentary Darwin's Dilemma for reasons why.


N.p. N.p., 1979. Vintage two sided flyer, which doubles as an invitation, for "Max Julien's 1st Annual Spook Festival," held on April 13, 1979.
Proceeds from the event, which was billed as a Halloween costume party (and held on Friday the 13th), benefitted the Western States Black Research Center Building Fund, and scenes from the party were filmed for Julien's film "Danger Bag," although it does not appear the film was ever released.
Max Julien is a key figure in the 1970s blaxploitation scene, starring in the classic "The Mack" (1973), writing the screenplay for "Cleopatra Jones" (also 1973), and writing and starring in "Thomasine and Bushrod" (1974).
14 x 8.5 inches (36 x 22), folded to 3.5 x 8.5 inches (9 x 22 cm). Very Good plus, with a holograph ink alteration to an image of Julien.


This view of Plaza Street, looking southeast from Spear, shows the Excelsior Hotel and the Carson Opera House. The Opera House was built on this spot in 1888 after it was kicked out of its old perch on Carson Street by construction of the post office (now Laxalt Building). The opera house burned in 1931. The Excelsior Hotel was torn down some time before that.

The 19th Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly in Canada was established by the results of the 2019 Northwest Territories general election on October 1, 2019.

In the 2019 election, 9 of the 19 MLAs elected were women, a record in both NWT and all of Canada. Previously, the most sitting women MLAs was three. On July 27, following the resignation of Jackson Lafferty and the subsequent by-election victory of Jane Weyallon Armstrong, the Legislature had 10 women to 9 men, and became the first jurisdiction in Canada to have a majority of women legislators.

State pension warning: Boris Johnson under pressure to change policy, says campaigner
The state pension age for women rose to 65 to bring it into line with men and will go up to 66 by 2020, and 67 by 2028. Campaigner and investigate journalist, David Hencke, believes the DWP will be found to be acting unfairly against 1950s women. He added that Boris Johnson's government will face "considerable pressure" to change the age or become unpopular with half of the population.
Speaking on Backto69's YouTube page, Mr Hencke said: "They will show that these women are determined to fight and I think that they stand a good chance of the judges deciding that the DWP hasn't been fair.
"I think it could put the Boris Johnson government under considerable pressure.
"What's he going to do? Leave the UN convention?
"It would make him extremely unpopular with half the population."
Backto60's UN representative, Davina Lloyd has previously explained 1950s women were not the generation to have their pensions changed due to them being unable to work or earn a high enough salary to add to a pension.
She noted that 1950s womens' lives have been "intolerable" by the age change.
She told Express.co.uk: "A lot of married women weren't allowed to be educated and therefore those women had low paid jobs.
"If you're in a low pay job in the 60s and early 70s, you were not able to pay into a pension.
"There was a bar at which anyone earning a pittance which they were couldn't pay into the state pension.
"If you worked part-time, you couldn't pay into a state pension.
"If you had children and you stayed at home to care for them or you cared for elderly parents, you were not given pension credits so you couldn't build up a pension.
"Every single thing that's now been put right more or less, all subsequent generations were denied to this particular group of women.

"The impact assessment would have said, 'we're changing the wrong group of women because this is going to make their lives intolerable' and it has."
It comes as older savers have been resisting temptations to dip into their pensions during the coronavirus lockdown, figures from insurers suggest.
In April, queries from customers about their pension fell by nearly a third (31.9 percent) compared with April 2019, according to the Association of British Insurers (ABI).
The number of people withdrawing all their pension in one lump sum fell by 30.2 percent and the number of people drawing down their pension as a flexible income fell by more than two-fifths (42.2 percent).
The ABI said it expects pension withdrawal rates to increase as the lockdown eases, due to pent-up demand being released as people had previously put plans on hold, and as the financial need increases as the furlough scheme unwinds.

About Stamp
To coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Canadian Tulip Festival, Canada Post has issued four domestic rate commemorative stamps featuring the tulips 'City of Vancouver', 'Monte Carlo', 'Ottawa' and 'The Bishop'. These self-adhesive stamps are available in a booklet of eight.
The Tulip
Along with onions, leeks, garlic, asparagus and a variety of ornamental plants, tulips are members of the lily family. Cultivated as early as 1,000 AD in what is now Turkey, tulips were introduced to Europe in the 16th century, cultivated in the Netherlands beginning in the 1600s, and brought to North America by the Dutch.
Tulips in Canada
During the Second World War, the Dutch royal family sought shelter in Canada, and strong bonds were forged between the two countries. Princess Margriet was born during this time, in Ottawa's Civic Hospital. In helping to liberate the Netherlands, some 5,712 Canadian servicemen lost their lives and remain buried in Dutch soil. In the fall of 1945, the people of the Netherlands sent a gift of 100,000 tulip bulbs to Ottawa, which were planted in front of Parliament Hill and along the Queen Elizabeth Driveway. Then in 1946, Princess Juliana sent 20,000 bulbs to show her gratitude for the hospitality she received here. Each year, Ottawa receives 10,000 bulbs from the Queen's household, bringing the number of annual blooms to over one million in the National Capital Commission tulip beds.
The Canadian Tulip Festival 50th Anniversary
In 1953, the first Canadian Tulip Festival was held in Ottawa. Today, the Festival is the largest in the world, earning Ottawa the title of 'tulip capital of North America.' The 50th Anniversary Festival will take place between May 3rd and 20th, 2002.
'City of Vancouver'
The 'City of Vancouver' is a primrose yellow tulip from the Single Late Group, a late-flowering, mainly long-stemmed, single-flowered cultivar. This tulip grows to approximately 70 cm. On the stamp, the 'City of Vancouver' is shown against a background of the Vancouver skyline.
'Monte Carlo'
Sulphur-yellow in colour, and slightly feathered with red, the 'Monte Carlo' reaches a height of 30 cm. The 'Monte Carlo' is a member of the Double Early Group, an early-flowering, short-stemmed and double-flowered cultivar. In the background of the 'Monte Carlo' stamp are tulip beds located at Ottawa's Dow's Lake.
'Ottawa'
'Ottawa' is a cardinal red tulip with canary yellow margins belonging to the Triumph Group, a single-flowered cultivar with medium-length stems and mid-season blooming. This tulip attains a height of 50 cm. The Canadian War Memorial lies in the background of the 'Ottawa' stamp.
'The Bishop'
A Darwin Hybrid, 'The Bishop' is violet purple in colour and characterized by large flowers on long stems. This tulip is classified as a Single Late and was among the varieties of tulips forming the original gift from the Dutch royal family. The background of 'The Bishop' stamp is Ottawa's Civic Hospital, birthplace of Princess Margriet.
The Floral Arrangement
Using illustrations by Ghyslain Lefebvre and photographs taken (or provided) by Peter Timmermans, The Ottawa Hospital and Malak, Monique Dufour and Sophie Lafortune of Quebec City designed the Tulips stamp set.
Designed by Monique Dufour. Designed by Sophie Lafortune. Based on a photograph by Malak Karsh.

To help Chicken of the Sea celebrate their 60th Birthday, I have used their No-Drain Thai Chili Tuna to create a new twist to the traditional tuna salad recipe and create Thai Chili Tuna Salad Rollups. These rollups are great to eat for lunch, to serve as an appetizer, or to take with you on a picnic.
1. Mix all ingredients in a small bowl except the tortilla.
2. Heat the tortilla in the microwave for 20 seconds to make it softer so it will roll up easier and won't break.
3. Spread mixture onto tortilla, being careful not to get too close to the edges to avoid it leaking out the edge.
4. Roll up the tortilla and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
5. Cut into slices and serve.
Chicken of the Sea is currently holding the Chicken of the Sea 60s & Sensational Contest, where you can nominate a sensational person who is 60-69 years of age (or enter yourself if you are between those ages). They are offering 4 Grand Prize Winners the chance to choose between 3 birthday packages: a $1,000 shopping spree, a dinner with friends (complete with limo), or a spa package for 2. You can also enter daily for a chance to win some great Chicken of the Sea swag!
The contest ends on August 12, 2012, so be sure to stop by and enter!

Crude Prices Remain Above $60 As Demand Outlook Improves
By Yousef Alshammari - Apr 20, 2021, 12:00 PM CDT
Compared to April 2020 "Black April", seen as one of the worst months for global oil markets, April 2021 tells a very different story. Fundamentals are improving and a newfound bullishness is returning to the markets.
Last week, Brent closed at $66.77, up by 5.72% w/w, while WTI closed at $63.13, up by 6.04% w/w, and prices continued to gain momentum on Monday. Prices have been supported by multiple factors including a weaker dollar, strong economic data from China, an improved economic growth forecast from the IMF, and strong demand data from the United States.
Macroeconomic outlooks and fears of inflation are supporting prices
Given the impact of recent economic stimulus, the IMF doubled its global growth forecast in 2021 to 6% including 6.4% predicted growth in the US, 4.4% in Europe, 8.4% in China, 12.5% in India, and 6.7% in other emerging markets.
Furthermore, the Chinese economy grew by 18.3% y/y, 0.6% Q/Q, in Q-1 this year, though from a low base. Chinese exports remain strong in March which is fuelling optimism for oil demand. Chinese exports were seen 30.6% higher compared with their level last year, despite having a slightly slower pace of growth in March compared with February. This is combined with improving manufacturing index data, 51.9 in March, which suggests robust industrial activity.
U.S. bond rates are also rising despite improving job data, an indication of fears of changing the Fed policy on interest rates that may be hiked to control expected inflation. Crude prices are affected by emerging fears of inflation, which is visible through rising bond prices.
Despite the lockdown measures in the EU, Google mobility data shows an increasing number of visits to retail and entertainment venues, suggesting that fuel demand may not be as bad as previously thought. In the meantime, vaccination campaigns are advancing, and the UK has already initiated its first phase of re-opening its economy.

Additional factors supporting prices include the upward revision of demand forecasts by the IEA and OPEC along with bullish inventory data published by the EIA. OPEC raised its demand growth forecast in 2021 by 70,000 bpd from earlier forecasts to a total of 5.95 million bpd, while the IEA revised up their demand growth forecast by 230,000 bpd to 5.7 million bpd.
Commercial crude oil inventories dropped for the second consecutive week, by 5.9 million barrels, following four weeks of continuous build-ups, standing currently at 492.4 million barrels. If the current demand trend continues, we expect commercial inventories to drop to around 450 million barrels by July. On the other hand, rising covid cases in major consuming countries such as India and Brazil, and the suspension of Johnson & Johnson vaccines in the U.S. resulted in demand uncertainty in the markets which continues to limit crude prices.
Aramco expansion projects set to raise production capacity by 2024
Aramco is said to have given the green light for its capacity expansion projects in three offshore fields, expecting to add an additional 1.15 million bpd to the company's maximum sustained production capacity of around 12 million bpd. According to Argus, 38 companies were awarded contracts to carry out the expansion in the Zuluf, Marjan, and Berri fields by 600,000 bpd, 300,000 bpd, and 250,000 bpd, respectively. The size of the investment is estimated to be around $18 billion and is seen as the largest investment in the upstream sector since the pandemic. Aramco is said to be targeting a total production capacity of 13 million bpd by 2024.
US demand data continues to strengthen
U.S. demand data continues to show strength, and product demand is almost back at 2019 levels. Last week, the EIA showed that U.S. petroleum product demand stood at 20.33 million bpd including 8.90 million demand for gasoline. Furthermore, U.S. refinery input is just above 15 million bpd, only 1 million lower than its level before the pandemic.
While demand continues to pick up, U.S. oil production continues to lag behind 2019 levels. Total production of liquids is seen as almost unchanged since November 2020, ranging between 10.9-11.1 million bpd. We remain highly doubtful of any projected rise in the level of U.S. production in 2021 in spite of higher prices and a rising rig count.

Mamdouh Salameh on April 20 2021 said:
Global oil demand is accelerating fast underpinned by optimistic projections for global economic growth, continuing steep decline in oil inventories, OPEC+'s compliance with the production cuts, an oil insatiable China whose economy grew by 18.3% in the first quarter of 2021 breaking all records since records started and a US economy continuing to show strength with product demand almost back to 2019 levels.
In view of the above, I continue to project that global oil demand will return to pre-pandemic level of 101.0 million barrels a day (mbd) by the middle of 2021 with Brent crude hitting $70-$80 a barrel by the third quarter of this year and averaging $65 for the year. By the second half of 2022 or the first quarter of 2023 we may even see $100 oil triggered by a global supply-deficit estimated at 10.0 mbd.
As for Saudi Aramco's plans for oil production expansion, I very much doubt if Aramco could manage at all to expand the production capacity of the Zuluf oilfield. The reason is that Zukuf is one of five giant oilfields accounting for more than 90% of Saudi oil Production. The other four are Ghawar, Safaniya, Hanifa, Khurais. They are more than 73 years old and are being kept producing by a huge injection of water. In 2019 Saudi Aramco admitted for the first time that Ghawar which is the cornerstone of its production has declined from 5.0 mbd to 3.8 mbd. And with a 6% depletion rate, Ghawar could now be producing 3.36 mbd.
If this is the case, it is fair then to suggest that the same depletion would have also affected Zuluf and the other oilfields of the same age.
Saudi Aramco might have better luck in expanding the production capacity of the two smaller offshore Marjan and Berri oilfields by an estimated 300,000 b/d and 250,000 b/d respectively after 2023. Still, the increase will neither offset the continuing decline in Saudi's five giant oilfields nor in Saudi oil production.

Monday of the Sixth Week of Ordinary Time
Lehi Lentils
Family and Friends of Jesus Scrapbook Album
Prayer on the Feast of St. Simeon
Lent, A Time to Shoulder Our Christian Responsibilities | Pope Benedict XVI
Why We Need Lent | George W. Rutler
Old Calendar: St. Simeon, bishop and martyr; St. Bernadette Soubirous, virgin; St. Flavian, bishop and martyr (Hist)
According to the 1962 Missal of St. John XXIII the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, today is the feast of St. Simeon, bishop and martyr. He was successor to the apostle St. James in the See of Jerusalem and was arrested and probably crucified in about A.D. 110, under the emperor Trajan. He ruled over the Church of Jerusalem for forty years.
Historically today is also the feast of St. Flavian of Constantinople, Patriarch of Constantinople and martyr of the 5th century.
St. Simeon
A blood relative of Christ, he was martyred in early apostolic times. Succeeding the apostle James, Simeon, the son of Cleophas, was, it may be said, the first bishop of Jerusalem. Under the Emperor Trajan he was arraigned before Atticus, the governor, on charges of being a Christian and a relative of Jesus. For at a certain period, all descendants of David were apprehended. After enduring all types of torture, he was affixed to a cross, even as His Savior. Those present marveled how a man of such advanced age (he was 120 years old) could so steadfastly and joyously bear the excruciating pains of crucifixion. He died on the 18th of February, 106 A.D.
The siege and the destruction of Jerusalem took place during his episcopacy. He accompanied the Christian community to Pella.
— Excerpted from The Church's Year of Grace, Pius Parsch
In the spirit of the blind man in today's Gospel and mindful of St. Simeon's joy upon his martyrdom, pray for vision to see the Crucified Christ in all your struggles.
Saint Josemaria Escriva recommends that the serious Christian carry with him a small crucifix, which he may keep before himself at all times. In your case, this may be the kitchen, the office, the classroom, or any place in which you are fulfilling your duties. When it becomes difficult to persevere, look upon Christ and be reminded of the value of your small trials.
Read this account of the martyrdom of St. Simeon by St. Eusebius of Caesarea.
If you are interested in genealogy you might like to read about the genealogy of Christ at New Advent.
St. Flavian
St. Flavian was patriarch of Constantinople, and he was hated by the Emperor Theodosius II's chancellor, partly because he would not give Church money to the Emperor. In 448, St. Flavian held a synod that condemned the abbot Eutyches for denying that Jesus Christ had two distinct natures, a denial that was the beginning of the Monophysite heresy. Eutyches then appealed to Pope St. Leo I, but the Pope sustained the decision and wrote his famous "Leo's Tome" to St. Flavian, a letter expounding the orthodox position on the matter. The Emperor called another council at Ephesus in 449, which St. Leo later called a "robber synod." Conducted in open violence, it unjustly deposed St. Flavian and Eusebius, Eutyches' accuser in 448. St. Flavian was beaten so severely that he died days later in his place of exile. In 451 the Council of Chalcedon vindicated St. Flavian, reinstated Eusebius and exiled the Bishop of Alexandria, who had supported the heresy. St. Pulcheria had St. Flavian's body brought back to Constantinople and buried with those of his predecessors.

What Is a Fiscal Lawyer?
Jared Lewis
Agricultural and ... $39,910/year 2012-2016 -16.7%
Geoscientists $89,850/year 2012-2016 -12.1%
Fiscal law requires special legal expertise to deal primarily with the complex field of government contract procurement and acquisitions. Many different industries rely upon government funding for their continued survival and often go through detailed legal procedures to obtain that money. A fiscal lawyer can work either on behalf of these industries or on behalf of the government.
Congressional Spending
Sections eight and nine of Article I of the United States Constitution give Congress the right to appropriate revenue, which includes funds either borrowed or raised through taxation. The appropriation of funds is regulated by specific measures or controls Congress has put into place to make sure the money is spent as intended. Fiscal lawyers, sometimes called procurement lawyers, are responsible for defending or prosecuting those accused of breaking spending rules.
The basic provisions of fiscal law determine what actions a government agency can take when using federal money. The Department of Defense notes that the money that has been appropriated must be spent for its stated purpose and within the time limits as specified. Finally, an agency cannot obligate itself to spend more than has been allowed by Congress for the specific project in question. Fiscal lawyers will generally be responsible for the prosecution of such violations.
The fiscal law course offered by the University of Louisville's School of Law indicates that in the event of a suspected violation, the agency is responsible for conducting an investigation, which can lead to disciplinary action or criminal sanctions. Fiscal lawyers handle any legal issues involved in these investigations.
Fiscal lawyers can generally expect to make salaries on par with other lawyers. According to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), lawyers working for the federal government earned an average salary of $130,210 per year in 2010. This salary was slightly higher than the average salary earned by all other lawyers nationwide. The BLS reports that the national average salary for all lawyers nationwide was $129,440 per year in 2010.

Women of Color in STEM
View all blog posts under Articles | View all blog posts under Bachelor's in Data Science
Throughout history, hidden figures — women of color who contributed to and sustained different fields of study — have gone without recognition.
NASA scientist Mary Jackson at work.
Many important women of color made groundbreaking discoveries in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. These women were experts in their fields and contributed to the success of their organizations and institutions. They were educated professionals who defied constraints, rose to the top of their organizations, and accomplished great things.
In recent years, their stories have been uncovered, and many women of color are now being acknowledged for their contributions to STEM to the point where organizations are encouraging women of color to pursue STEM careers. Annual events such as the U.S. Women of Color STEM Conference help them navigate their careers and find networking opportunities. Universities are also encouraging women of color to pursue STEM majors and careers.
Women in STEM History
It would be impossible to properly acknowledge all of the women who have contributed to STEM throughout history since their achievements have often been ignored or suppressed. However, even though women and women of color have often fallen out of the historical record, resources still exist that reveal how pivotal many women have been in developing technology, medical knowledge, scientific instruments, and engineering skills. As long as science, technology, engineering, and math have existed, women have contributed to innovations and discoveries.
As far back as 2300 BCE, a priestess of Ur named En'Hedu'anna studied astronomy and tracked the cycles of the moon. She, like many scientists of her time, recorded her findings as poetry. People recited her poetry for 500 years after her death.
The existence of some women in STEM is debated because of flawed historical recordkeeping. One of these women is Merit Ptah, who worked in the third century BCE. She was a physician in ancient Egypt and the first recorded woman in medicine. Some contend that she may not have actually existed, but that she represents female physicians who were pioneers in medicine and science. Others argue strongly for her existence, pointing to historical records that show she was the chief physician of the pharaoh's court.
Women of color in STEM have contributed to science and medicine from ancient history to the modern day — from Al-Ijliya Al-Astrulabi inventing the astrolabe in 10th-century Syria to Ālenush Teriān becoming the first Armenian female astronomer and physicist in 21st-century Iran. These women defied social and cultural repression to make timeless discoveries that advanced the fields of astronomy and astrophysics.
Statistics on Women of Color in STEM
While many women have made great contributions to various STEM fields, they are still underrepresented in STEM careers today.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, women only held 7% of STEM jobs in 1970. That number doubled to 14% in 1980. According to the National Science Board, women make up 47% of the current workforce but only 28% of the current science and engineering workforce. Of this percentage, women of color comprise about 5%.
Many factors contribute to women making up about only one-quarter of the STEM workforce. According to the Educational Research Center of America, male and female students in K-12 education share the same ability to excel in STEM classes. However, according to the same study, female students demonstrate less confidence in those subjects. If female students are not encouraged to study STEM or are even discouraged throughout their K-12 education, they may continue to lack confidence in those subjects and choose different majors in college.
The National Center for Education Statistics reports that in 2015 the percentage of women of color attending higher education institutions who earned STEM degrees was:
Asian women: 5%
Black women: 2.9%
Latinas: 3.8%
Because women, and particularly women of color, have been historically underrepresented in STEM majors at universities as well as in STEM careers, many women in the field struggle against the perception of working in a biased environment. Scientific American discovered that 45% of women in STEM leave their jobs because they feel underpaid and underrepresented.
Because of this attrition, few women rise to top positions as role models for other women. However, women who can earn STEM degrees are more than capable of working in STEM leadership positions and advancing their careers.
Black Women in STEM
Women of color in STEM have overcome racial and gender biases throughout time to make a name for themselves and contribute to great causes, including many important African American women. These women overcame both sexism and racism to hold important titles and positions, contribute to significant discoveries, and push the boundaries of who is included in the history of STEM. The following are short biographies of important African American women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics:
Dorothy Lavinia Brown was the first African American female surgeon. She practiced in the Southeastern U.S. during the 1900s.
Rebecca Lee Crumpler was the first African American woman to become a physician. She graduated from the New England Female Medical College as a Doctor of Medicine in 1864.
Dr. Marie M. Daly was the first African American woman to earn a PhD in chemistry in the U.S. She earned her doctorate from Columbia University in 1947 and devoted her life to research and education, teaching and working as a biochemist.
Mary Jackson was NASA's first African American female engineer. She became an aeronautical engineer in 1958. She devoted her career as an engineer to creating reports and helping other women get STEM positions at NASA.
Dr. Shirley Jackson was the second African American woman to graduate with a PhD in physics in the U.S., and the first African American woman to graduate with a PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She received the National Medal of Science in 2015 during the presidency of Barack Obama.
Katherine Johnson completed the NASA calculations necessary for several space missions including the 1969 moon landing. She began working as a human computer for Langley Research Center in 1952 and made her way to the flight research division, due to her astounding intelligence and calculations. In 2015, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Dr. Gladys West was responsible for the mathematics that brought about the invention of the Global Positioning System (GPS). Her important work at the U.S. Naval Weapons Laboratory helped with outer space discoveries related to planets in the solar system as well as Earth. She programmed the mathematics and calculations for the complex computer that eventually became known as a GPS.
These important African American women defied the odds and the staggering statistics, devoting their lives to making the world a better place through their STEM careers.
Other Famous Women of Color in STEM
While women of color in STEM careers have always faced difficulties, they have persisted to overcome inherent biases based on sexism and racism. Here are short biographies of a few women of color who have contributed to STEM:
Susan La Flesche was the first Native American woman to earn a medical degree. She attended what is now known as Hampton University before attending and graduating as valedictorian from the Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1889. She became a physician and devoted her life to providing medical care to the Omaha tribe.
Dr. Ellen Ochoa was the first Latina astronaut to explore outer space. She earned her PhD in electrical engineering and began the three-year process of becoming a NASA astronaut. Her first trip to space took place on the Discovery in 1993, and she has since been to outer space three more times. She has conducted research regarding the ozone layer and is also an inventor.
Dr. Antonia Novello was the first woman and first Latina to hold the position of surgeon general of the U.S. Dr. Novello earned her Doctor of Medicine at the University of Puerto Rico before serving as surgeon general from 1990 to 1993. Afterward, she was the commissioner of health for New York state and worked as the medical authority for several important organizations.
Mary G. Ross was the first Native American female aerospace engineer. She worked in Lockheed's Advanced Development Program and assisted in developing the plans for fly-by missions to Venus and Mars. She was originally hired as a mathematician in 1942 prior to transitioning to a career in engineering.
In 2015 Tu Youyou became the first woman from the People's Republic of China to receive the Nobel Prize. She and two other scientists shared the Nobel in physiology or medicine for their groundbreaking work discovering artemisinin and dihydroartemisinin, the drugs that treat malaria. She currently works as a pharmaceutical chemist.
Organizations Encouraging Women to Pursue STEM Careers
As the contributions of women of color gain recognition, many modern organizations are encouraging women of color to pursue STEM careers. The following organizations are devoted to helping girls and women explore careers in science, technology, engineering, or math:
Girlstart offers K-12 programs for girls interested in STEM. Girls from kindergarten through 12th grade can participate in six core STEM programs. The organization pays for more than 500 girls to attend the annual Girls in STEM Conference.
Girls Who Code helps girls learn technological and coding skills to serve as the foundation for future STEM careers. The organization hopes to build America's biggest pipeline of female engineers.
The National Girls Collaborative Project primarily serves as a network by which 36,400 different programs and organizations collaborate to help girls achieve gender equality in STEM careers.
Women Who Code provides resources and holds events, helping create leadership opportunities where women in STEM can be represented.
Black Girls Code serves African American, Latina, and Native American girls by cultivating an environment in which they can learn coding skills and computer science. The organization has partnered with several corporations such as Google and FedEx to make a difference in the lives of young girls who want to pursue STEM careers.
These are just a few of the many organizations that serve girls and women today. These organizations understand the value of women of color in STEM careers. These programs are devoted to cultivating environments where girls and women of color in STEM can feel represented.
Institutions of higher education are encouraging women of color to consider STEM majors by offering special scholarships. Government agencies such as the National Nuclear Security Administration and private companies such as Hewlett-Packard are also providing scholarships to women of color. Scholars and professionals alike recognize that the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields are lacking in diversity and the country needs more women of color in STEM organizations.
Women of Color STEM Conference
One important event encouraging women of color in STEM careers is the annual U.S. Women of Color STEM Conference. Started in 1995, the conference brings women of color from different STEM fields together, and holds exciting and helpful events every year, including awards ceremonies and networking opportunities. More than 50 women in various STEM careers from government and industry are presented with special awards.
The conference hosts a career fair where women can meet potential employers and network with important industry leaders, creating important and lasting connections with other women of color in STEM. The Women of Color STEM Conference invites technology executives to serve as keynote speakers and provides workshops where women can build their knowledge and receive specialized training. College students interested in professions in STEM can attend the conference to make important contacts and learn how to navigate their own careers.
