Hey y'all! My name is Ashley Walker (@That_Astro_Chic ). I've curated Real Scientists in October of 2018! Allow me to re-introduce myself. I'm a intern for @NASAGoddard in the Astrochemistry Lab and is the founder of #BlackInAstro week which JUST ended yesterday! (A thread)
A little bit more about me. I'm from Chicago, IL (the BEST side which is the south side). I received my BS in Chemistry from @ChicagoState University. During my time there, I've interned at Harvard which I studied early planet forming disks.
I've also interned at Johns Hopkins and studied planetary atmospheres, specifically Saturn's moon Titan. (My baby! 🥺) This project was also presented as my senior thesis defense!
I'm also a science communicator. I've given several talks! Speaking of which, I have one today for @STL_AoT!! This will be focused on Black Astronomy! #BlackInAstro
Today will be dedicated to @ThePurplePage who began #BlackandSTEM which allowed Black scientists to find each other through the Twitterverse!!
Tomorrow, I will talk about #BlackInAstro which I've collaborated with @astrobites with a series of articles highlighting the lives of Black Astronomers!
Throughout the week, I'll be talking about why Black Science is important and talking about astrochemistry!!!
So stay tuned!!!
