For #BlackHistoryMonth https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> I am combining 2 passions: art & science. Inspired by @faith_uwadiae& #39;s wonderful BHM thread (check it out!), I will attempt to post an #Inktober2019 drawing every day based on historical and current black British scientists, to celebrate and learn!
Please comment with any of your favourite Black British scientists to join the fun! #BlackInSTEMM #BlackHistoryMonth https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Day 1: Dr Alan Powell Goffe, 1920-66 English-Jamaican clinician/ microbiologist who was instrumental in polio & measles #vaccines https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😱" title="Vor Angst schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Vor Angst schreiendes Gesicht"> His work has saved millions of lives but there is so little information about him - not even a @Wikipedia article!
