A Woman to Know: Matilda Arabella Evans, MD.

Dr. Evans attended Oberlin College on a scholarship for nearly four years and left before graduating in 1891 to begin an extraordinary medical career, as seen in the timeline infographic above.  Learn more about the first African American woman licensed to practice medicine in South Carolina, a one-time Obie who made a difference for good.  Celebrate Juneteenth and the liberating force of education. @oberlincollegelibraries

Dr. Lauren V. Wood, Chief Medical Officer, PDS Biotechnology, graduated from Oberlin College in 1980.

We are happy to profile Oberlin alumna Dr. Wood as we celebrate Juneteenth.  Dr. Wood worked with Dr. Anthony Fauci early in her career, investigating HIV-specific cellular and humoral immune responses.  Along the way, she became a captain in the U.S. Public Health Services Commissioned Corps and was a researcher in the National Institutes of Health (NIH).  A bit of advice from Dr. Wood to those contemplating their career path: “If you want to see miserable people in  life, look at the people who didn’t pursue what was really in their hearts to do.” [video from NIH].  @oberlincollegelibraries

Yes, yes, yes!!! . Repost @raventhesciencemaven ・・・ Learning how to love is a multidimensional process. Oxytocin, the love chemical, is produced not only when you love another human being, but also when you do things that you love. #science #blackwomenandstem #blacksinstem #blackphd #hiphop #blerd #nerd #sciencegeek #womeninstem #wocinstem #blackwomeninstem #stemdiversity #womeninscience #phdstudent #scienceiscool #sciencefun #instascience #biology #womenscientists #stem #scienceisbeautiful #sciencecommunication #scicomm #missionunstoppable #stemcamp #phds #blackintech #raven #blackgirlscode #blackscientist https://www.instagram.com/p/B8nFHbpj8Acs1e7emQop8oTLDZVtkv0W_i2fLc0/?igshid=eo3ld8d0owre

Take a good look at your future engineers! I had the best time teaching the kindergarteners and 1st graders of Bishop T Walker School for boys about engineering in general, civil engineering & construction management! We had an exciting time looking through drawings and their favorite part was trying on personal protective equipment ⛑ 🥾👷🏾‍♂️👷🏽‍♀️It’s truly a blessing to introduce new career paths to our youth! I’ll be at another career day this Friday and am looking forward to introducing more boys and girls to engineering! . . . . . #blackboyjoy #stem #blacksinstem #stemisthenewblack #engineers #blackengineers #femaleengineer #careerday (at Southeast, Washington, D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByTBbfUlW1V/?igshid=19g0s5z1p2ook
