Thanks to Chairman ⁦@RepHankJohnson⁩ and Ranking Member ⁦@RepMarthaRoby⁩ for holding a hearing today on diversity in the innovation economy and allowing me to present my research! #Honor #LostEinsteins #LostKatherines
Focus of my research & testimony: macro implications of suboptimal allocation of talent when women & URM aren't included at each stage of innovative process -- STEM ed & training, practice of invention (patent teams), & commercialization of invention. #LostEinsteinsAndKatherines
In addition to my research with Chaleampong Kongcharoen and Yanyan Yang, my testimony cited related work by Hunt, Garant, Herman, and Munroe; Hsieh, Hurst, Jones, and Klenow; and Bell, Chetty, Jaravel, Petrova, & @johnvanreenen. #LostEinsteinsAndKatherines

For #PiDay + #WomensHistoryMonth, I honor an eminent, glass-ceiling-breaking mathematician, Dr. Loretta Marion Murray Braxton. In the 1950’s, her 1st math prof in college in VA told her that she was in the wrong classes, b/c "only boys took higher-level math classes."1/14
Undeterred, Loretta Braxton won an NSF to do an MS in math in a top program at the University of Illinois, obtained a doctorate, and taught the 1st African American who formed a billion-dollar company, Reginald Lewis. #PiDay #Fearless 2/N
As a math teacher, professor, and 15 years as chair of the math department at @VSUTrojans, Loretta Braxton mentored several generations of math students, many of whom became teachers + college or university professors themselves. #BlackAndSTEM 3/14

Today the 1st national #LynchingMemorial opens in Montgomery, Alabama. I have worked to create a national lynching data set from 1684 to 1983. What do we know about lynchings? 1/N
First, we know they were heavily concentrated in the Deep South from the late 1800's and in general. Here's a heat map of the entire data set from 1684 to 1983. 2/N
We also know lynchings occurred throughout the United States. There were lynchings in all but 5 states + DC. 3/N

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Jim Jordan, the Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, issued the following statement in response to Chairman Elijah Cummings’ upcoming hearing with Michael Cohen:
“Chairman Cummings promised to pursue rigorous, responsible, fact-based oversight. However, the Chairman’s announcement today suggests he will be using the committee as a venue for political theater rather than legitimate oversight.

.@GerryConnolly “Today, as one of their last acts in the majority, our Republicans are holding their latest partisan hearing to air unsubstantiated allegations against the Clinton Foundation.”
“So, let’s look at these latest allegations. On our next panel two private individuals, both Republicans will explain how they submitted a complaint to the IRS and FBI against the #Clinton Foundation.”
“They have already conceded that they are not whistle blowers. Instead, they are would-be plaintiffs in a lawsuit looking to make money.”

Introduction

Thank you Sec Ashcroft for that kind introduction. I’m glad to be here in Missouri and eager to spend some time with all of you today.

I’d like to begin by noting that tomorrow marks an important anniversary in our country’s history—the attacks on Sept 11th, 2001.
Nearly 3,000 innocent people died that day, making it the deadliest terrorist attack to ever occur on American soil. In the days following the attack, our fear and incredulity were replaced by defiance and determination.
