​“I value STEM education because it serves as an opportunity to expose minority youth to exciting fields of study and potential career paths that were previously unknown to them.”
​- Menelik James
Although Menelik is still relatively young, he has already had an amazing impact in the STEM world. Menelik James is a Chemical Engineer who attends Prairie View A&M University located near Houston, Texas. He has a passion for environmental research with a focus on water treatment and renewable energy applications.

Menelik has conducted a wide variety of notable research. While working at the NASA Glenn Research Center, he studied non-equilibrium plasma applications for water purification. Menelik’s research continued at his home institution in the fields of membrane and thin film. Further, his research included microporous polymer synthesis and development for carbon dioxide capture and separation from post-combustion flue gas at a U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratory. With all of this incredible research experience, Menelik most recently studied hydrogen peroxide-powered fuel cell research at Stanford University.
His primary research and career goals are to develop and deploy mature water treatment technologies at scale and in a cost-effective manner to developing nations. Aside from research Menelik enjoys cooking, attending live music shows, and skydiving.
 
​“I value STEM education because it serves as an opportunity to expose minority youth to exciting fields of study and potential career paths that were previously unknown to them. As a member of the collegiate 100 Black Men, I’m a mentor in our high school mentee program serving underprivileged youth in the greater Houston Area. Communicating my experiences as a 2nd generation Jamaican American, advising them on the college application process, various funding opportunities, and introducing them to STEM research are the primary ways I engage the youth. Inviting professors from my university and distinguished alumna to come speak with the mentees is an essential component of the mentorship process.”
​Menelik’s choice to pursue an environmental engineering Ph.D. stems from his desire to develop innovative water and sanitation (W&S) technologies that will improve humanity’s quality of life but also preserve and protect the planet. Protecting humans from adverse environmental effects such as pollution, and improving environmental quality by advancing recycling, waste disposal, public health, and other green practices, is critical for the survival and health of planet earth and the life it supports.

​Environmental engineering’s focus meshes seamlessly with his desire to serve humanity. These two fields symbiotically support each other by engaging in efforts toward providing solutions for issues like sanitation and wastewater purification to developing countries. As an engineer, he hopes to engage in research and development efforts toward innovative technologies. Menelik hopes to address emerging contaminants such as Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in water treatment plant effluent and improve the long-term safety of engineered water sources. 

 
​Menelik plans to gain valuable hands-on lab research experience that will allow him to contribute to innovative solutions. Following the completion of graduate school, his long-term goal is to become a professor. By being a professor of environmental engineering, he hopes to serve humanity by solving technical water research issues. He aspires to educate future scientists and engineers about complex problems facing humanity such as clean water scarcities, population growth, and climate change.

In 2019, Menelik earned GEM Environmental’s undergraduate scholarship. Menelik used the scholarship to pay for his senior classes at Prairie View A&M University. Our team at GEM is so proud that we get to play a small role in Menelik’s story, as we know he will continue to do amazing things in the future!

Black History Month- Zora Neale Hurston

2/27/2021

“I have the nerve to walk my own way, however hard, in my search for reality, rather than climb upon the rattling wagon of wishful illusions."
- Zora Neale Hurston
Zora Neale Hurston was an incredibly accomplished author who showed just how inspiring people could truly be. Despite being fairly unnoticed for a time, she was always destined for greatness. Hurston’s unfavorable position as an African American woman living in the south only encouraged her to work harder to spread her literary wonders. Likewise, Hurston’s perseverance is best exemplified through her academic integrity.
Both of Hurston’s parents were enslaved, but they didn’t let that hold them back. After Hurston’s family relocated to Eatonville, Florida, her dad eventually became one of the first mayors there. She lied about her age to go to high school at Morgan College as she was actually in her twenties at the time. With a stunning personality and a youthful appearance, Hurston was able to fully convince others of her exaggerated age. 
After completing her high school education, she earned an associate’s degree at Howard University in 1920. While at Howard, she co-founded The Hilltop, which later ended up as the school’s acclaimed newspaper. After completing her associate’s degree, Hurston earned a scholarship at Barnard College, where she earned a BA in anthropology after only three years. 
Hurston’s time in New York allowed her to meet other remarkable writers such as Langton Hughes and Countee Cullen. At the same time, Hurston and many others were beginning to voice their concerns about discrimination through the Harlem Renaissance. However, she didn’t stop there. Throughout her life, she continuously gave prominence to the black community. To gain a better understanding of black culture, she traveled to places such as Jamaica and Haiti where she studied the various religions present there and later used her various findings as inspiration for her writing. 
Unfortunately, her stories didn’t achieve much of an impact throughout her early career, and it took nearly two decades for Hurston to gain the recognition she deserved. It wasn’t until the mid-30s when she started producing more novels, each with significant effects. Her most renowned work, Their Eyes Were Watching God, was published in 1937 and featured a remarkable tale of a black woman named Janie Crawford. 
In addition to her skills as a writer, Hurston was also taught others to follow in her footsteps. For example, Hurston was instrumental in the founding of the dramatic arts program at Bethune-Cookman College. More importantly, she was a drama teacher for five years at North Carolina College for Negroes in Durham (now North Carolina Central University). 
For all her astounding accomplishments, Hurston never received the praise she deserved. Due to her status as a minority, she was underpaid despite overwhelming acclaim for her works, with the largest sum she ever earned for one of her stories being only $943.75. After she died in 1960, Hurston faded into irrelevance for some time. However, due to the sudden resurgence of her writings in the late 20th century, her legacy of triumph and perseverance is preserved.

Picture
Marie M. Daly was born in Queens, New York City in 1921. As a child, both Daly’s mother and father played a large role in developing her interests in science, reading, and academia. Her mother, an avid reader, fostered her love for academia and literature. Her father developed her love for science and encouraged her to learn about scientists and their achievements. In his younger years, her father had wanted to become a chemist but had to drop out of college due to finances.

Daly’s fathers’ adversities inspired her to pursue chemistry and she eventually majored in the subject at Queens College. Following this, she earned her Master’s Degree at New York University and eventually her Ph.D. in Chemistry. Daly earned her Ph.D. at Columbia University in just 3 years and upon doing so, became the first Black American woman in the United States to earn a Ph.D. in Chemistry. After the completion of her studies, many employers were looking to hire women to fill the spots of men fighting in World War 2. As a result, Daly was able to find employment and continue her research, ultimately trailblazing opportunities for women in her field. 

Daly continued her career in STEM by conducting various research studies. Notably, her study which was published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine highlighted subjects including cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and the clogging of arteries. Eventually, she discovered a strong relationship between high blood pressure and having high cholesterol levels. This was an incredible discovery that created a foundation for further research into atherosclerosis and diseases related to high blood pressure. 

Her research also extended to studying the forming of chromosomes in our cells and more specifically, the characterization of histones. This work was especially important because understanding histones are essential to understanding the expression of various genes. As such her work contributed greatly to our knowledge today of histones and the organization of DNA.

Black History Month- Dr. Warren Washington

2/25/2021

“My suggestion to young people is that not only should they read about the history of science and engineering, but that they should read about the lives of those that have made contributions to these fields.”
​― Warren M. Washington

Dr. Warren Washington was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. His father sparked his interest in astronomy with a telescope that he set up on the sidewalk outside their home and Washington visited the library often to borrow books about famous scientists. He went on to earn a bachelor's degree in physics and a master's degree in meteorology from Oregon State University. He then attended Pennsylvania State University and completed his doctorate in meteorology there. Dr. Warren was the second African-American to earn a doctorate in atmospheric sciences, the first (and mentor to Washington) was Charles E. Anderson who forecasted weather for the Tuskegee Airmen.

In 1963 Dr. Washington joined the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado as a research scientist. Here is where some of his greatest and most influential research projects took place. In the 1960s he worked with senior scientist Akira Kasahara to create an atmospheric computer model that used the laws of physics to help predict how the climate will change over time. NCAR, with Dr. Washington as part of the team, created the Community Climate Model (CCM) in 1983. This was an open resource that could be used by the climate research community. In the 1990s the model was updated and expanded upon; this new research tool was called the Climate System Model (CSM) and included models of the atmosphere, landmasses, oceans, and sea ice. Due to these models being utilized by atmospheric organizations and groups researching climate change and its effects on the globe the model’s name was changed to the Community Climate System Model (CCSM).

Besides his hugely influential work mapping out climate change, Dr. Washington has many other achievements in his field. Dr. Washington was part of the group of scientists that shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 as a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He was also awarded the National Medal of Science from President Obama in 2010 for “his development and use of global climate models to understand climate… and for his work to support a diverse science and engineering workforce.” Washington has written over 150 publications, including An Introduction to Three-Dimensional Climate Modeling, which he co-wrote with Claire Parkinson in 1986. This book is still used today as an essential reference tool in the field of atmospheric science. He also has served as a member of the President’s National Advisory Committee on Oceans and Atmosphere and worked under the Carter, Reagan, Clinton, and Bush administrations.

Dr. Washington has encouraged young people and those underrepresented in the STEM fields to both become interested in the sciences and feel supported in their endeavors. He has mentored dozens of both graduate and undergraduate students and according to the UCAR’s staff profile of Dr. Washington: “In 1999, Washington won the Dr. Charles Anderson Award from the American Meteorological Society ‘for pioneering efforts as a mentor and passionate support of individuals, educational programs, and outreach initiatives designed to foster a diverse population of atmospheric scientists.’" This further demonstrates that having both a support system and a true passion for a branch of science are the first steps toward a bright future in the fields of STEM.

"What I loved best was the amazing individuals I got to work with daily. It was so easy to show up, be a part of a group who loved to work outside, and turn all the problems we were requested to fix into solved ones. It was such an amazing experience to have learned through my own working hands as well as actually being in the field and being able to problem-solve/implement changes that benefit the environment based on the situation at hand."
​- Mariah McGhee, YCI Participant

Mariah McGhee grew up in Kansas City, Missouri and always enjoyed being outside and in nature. Once she entered the University of Missouri-Columbia, she was exposed to various ecosystems and environments, propelling her interest and passion for nature. She harnessed her passion for the outdoors and used it to earn her Bachelor’s Degree in Natural Resource Management with an emphasis on Forestry and a minor in Soils.

During college, Mariah had various field experiences and gained many skills, including tree identification, invasive species identification/removal, soil testing, forest management plans, and a lot of Excel datasheet work. Through these experiences, she developed skills that fell right in line with GEM Environmental’s Youth Conservation Internship opportunity. When she learned about GEM’s mission and vision, she applied immediately! With her academic and professional background, GEM was happy to have her become one of our first youth conservation interns.


Mariah worked as a GEM Environmental maintenance intern for The Bureau of Land Management at the Phoenix District Office for 16 weeks. Her specific focus was repairing and restoring parts of the desert. The desert environment was new for Mariah, but she took to the experience like a duck in water! Her work ethic and previously learned skills allowed her to transition into the internship role smoothly. Additionally, the role encouraged her to explore her creativity, problem-solving skills, working with available materials and resources, and so much more. It allowed her to appreciate being a part of STEM education and helped secure her passion for her field.


This experience instilled confidence in Mariah. In the future, Mariah believes this experience will allow her to be an even better advocate, employee, and receptive learner in this line of work, which in turn, will allow her to be a better advocate for the environment. Mariah cited this internship as, “one of the best experiences ever,” and mentioned that one of the most valuable aspects of this experience was meeting field experts who shared the knowledge they have acquired over their many years in the natural restoration field. 


Mariah shared, “Being an African American female scientist and a first-generation student, my goal is to help diversify environmental studies and advocate for this topic to be systematically taught.” She hopes to implement the topic of Environmental Sciences in school education curriculums. This will allow future students to not only know the importance of our environment, and what has been done for many years to allow us to have these beautiful pristine lands, but also to share that working in an environmental field is an attainable option with plentiful employment opportunities.

“I’ve come to appreciate the planet we live on. It’s a small ball in a large universe. It’s a very fragile ball but also very beautiful. You don’t recognize that until you see it from a little farther off.” - Dr. Guion S. Bluford

Dr. Guion Bluford grew up with parents that encouraged and demonstrated the importance of education. He took that encouragement to heart and after graduating high school, he entered the Air Forces’ ROTC Program at Pennsylvania State University. In 1964, he graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in aerospace engineering and was immediately sent to be a fighter pilot in the Vietnam War. 


Bluford flew in 144 combat missions while in Vietnam. During his service term, Bluford earned the Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with Palm. After the Vietnam War ended, Bluford went to the Airforce Institute of Technology and earned his Master’s and Ph.D. in aerospace engineering. After graduating, Dr. Bluford became the Staff Development Engineer and Branch Chief of the Air Force Flight Dynamics Lab.

​In 1978, NASA held its first competition to become space shuttle astronauts. Dr. Bluford applied and was selected amongst 34 others from the applicant pool of over 10,000. After a year of training, Dr. Bluford became an official NASA astronaut and in 1983, he made history by being the first African American to travel through space.
Dr. Bluford joined four space travel missions from 1983 until 1992. His missions focused on conducting experiments while orbiting around the earth. Dr. Bluford did experiments for NASA and the Department of Defence. Collectively, Dr. Bluford spent 28 days and 16 hours in space. 

In 1993, Dr. Bluford retired from both NASA and the airforce. Afterward, he joined the private sector and worked for multiple companies throughout the years, including being the Vice President for the Engineering Division of NYMA and later becoming the Vice President of the Microgravity R&D and Operations for Northrop Grumman Corporation. In 2002, he took his final position as the President of Aerospace Technology before officially retiring.

“Treasure your curiosity and nurture your imagination. Have confidence in yourself. Do not let others put limits on you. Dare to imagine the unimaginable.”- Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson

Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson has spent her life breaking down racial and gender barriers in both the academic world and throughout her career. While some of her barrier-breaking abilities stem from her natural intelligence, a major reason she continues to be a vital figure for civil rights and equity movements today is because of her determination and strong will to do what is right, even if it is difficult.


Dr. Jackson has always shown remarkable academic excellence throughout her life. In 1964, she graduated from her public high school as valedictorian and accepted her place as one of only twenty-two African American students admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Even though Shirley was brilliant, she still faced discrimination during her time at MIT. Her fellow classmates would not allow her to join study groups and she was often mistaken as a low-wage worker while on campus. Shirley had to face racism, sexism, and classism during her years at MIT.
​

Persevering through systematic and individualistic discriminatory actions, Shirley received her Bachelor’s Degree in Physics. She continued her education at MIT to inspire more people of color and women to attend MIT and achieve their academic goals. In 1973, she earned her Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics, becoming the first African American Woman to receive a Ph.D. from MIT in any field. 

Afterward, Dr. Jackson kept breaking barriers during her career. She furthered the theoretical physics field by studying multiple focus areas including condensed matter physics, electronic and optical properties of two-dimensional systems, and polaronic aspects of electrons in two-dimensional spaces. She studied these areas in laboratories across the United States and with the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland.

Not only did Dr. Jackson aid in the furthering of theoretical physics, but she also participated in many important councils and boards for the United States. She started as a member of the US Department of Energy task force in 1994 but quickly rose to higher positions. In 1995, President Bill Clinton appointed Dr. Jackson to serve as Chairman of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, becoming the first African American and the first woman to hold the position. She continued to help the US government through multiple positions including serving on the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, being the chairman of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission and serving as the appointed Co-Chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board.

While Dr. Jackson was participating as a major contributor to these boards and councils, she was also making Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute into a world-class technological research university. As President of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Dr. Jackson created The Rensselaer Plan which was to increase the budget for research expenditures. Since then, Dr. Jackson has adapted the plan to continue with the growth of the institute. Her progress and success are shown by the amazing research that Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has published in the past twenty years as well as the drastic increase of applicants applying to the institute.

​While her scientific discoveries, national service, and institutional work are important, Dr. Jackson’s most vital mission is to increase the number of minorities in the science fields. She pursues her mission by acting as a mentor to many underrepresented students in the science fields, in addition to offering encouragement and resources to people of color and women.
