Looking Ahead

Dartmouth Next Winter Term Events

Our friends at Dartmouth NEXT are hosting three incredible speakers over the next month: Dr. Uché Blackstock, emergency physician and Founder/CEO of Advancing Health Equity; Dr. Mae Jemison, a pioneer of space exploration; and Dartmouth’s own Dr. Jay Buckey, physician and astronaut. We can’t emphasize what an incredible opportunity it is to hear these experts speak about their experience in STEM. Check out the details, below!

The E.E. Just Program Presents Just Science

Hosted by the EEJ Program, Just Science is a new public lecture series that highlights the lives and legacies of trailblazing BIPOC scientists such as Ernest Everett Just, a 1907 graduate of Dartmouth College and pioneering cell biologist, for whom the program is named. These narratives remind us that the pursuit of knowledge and the act of knowing are political acts that animate our moral frameworks and value systems, while broadening our vision of who the knowledge seekers can be. Just Science will illuminate the intersection between the expansion of scientific understanding and the pursuit of notions of justice, including social justice, environmental justice, educational justice and racial justice.

The first lecture will be delivered by Carolyn Roberts, assistant professor of the history of science and medicine and Black studies at Yale University. The event will be held in Haldeman 041 on Wednesday, January 21, from 5:00-6:30PM.

Don't let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity or your curiosity. It's your place in the world; it's your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live.

-Dr. Mae Jemison
