This month, in honor of Black History Month, we wanted to highlight 17 Black chemists you might have missed in class:
Winifred Burks-Houck was an environmental organic chemist and the first woman president of @NOBCChE. During her work at @Livermore_Lab she minimized threats to worker safety and limited the lab’s environmental impact. Learn more about her at ow.ly/UEyh50DnQEo #BlackInSTEM
