Malcolm made that up. Quite a few are single according to the person who compiled the list.
and according to stats will STAY that way if they aren't willing to "expand their options". esp with the kind of attitudes being expressed in here. unfortunate but true.
anyways :salute: these women. #blackFEMcellence

Someone compiled a list…I thought I'd share: http://www.kylamcmullen.com/Articles/sexy-black-female-scientists.html#sthash.EYr4D99v.Jk8CFtYD.dpbs

Here are a few of the ladies listed:


brittanya.jpg

A few words sum up being a chemistry Ph.D student: challenging, difficult, and long!! Lol. However, my experience has been exciting, rewarding, and inspiring. I truly have a deeper appreciation for the love of science and pursuit of new information, and what I can bring to the table as a young scientist. Knowing that everyone who has a Ph.D in chemistry, especially the black female chemists out there, went through this same process gives me strength as I continue to push forward in my journey! #Ph.DLife #Chemistry - See more at: http://www.kylamcmullen.com/Articles/sexy-black-female-scientists.html#sthash.EYr4D99v.Jk8CFtYD.dpuf


amber.jpg

Amber's research is focused on developing and validating novel biomarkers of mitochondrial dysfunction (i.e. cellular energy changes) in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Mitochondria are important because they provide our bodies' cells with the chemical energy they need to function correctly (i.e. signaling, dividing, growth and death) and keep us healthy. The cutting-edge models that Amber is developing will be important for all neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory conditions. - See more at: http://www.kylamcmullen.com/Articles/sexy-black-female-scientists.html#sthash.EYr4D99v.Jk8CFtYD.dpuf

I am a Scientist, and a proud African American woman! My background is in Physics, Biomedical Engineering, and Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine. My research is currently in proving that true Adipose tissue-derived Stem cells do exist. I do believe that a beautiful woman can also possess intellect! - See more at: http://www.kylamcmullen.com/Articles/sexy-black-female-scientists.html#sthash.EYr4D99v.Jk8CFtYD.dpuf


janina.jpg

New Orleans native currently working in New York City as a Postdoctoral research Fellow. I am a human geneticist by training and currently interested in population genetics. Specifically my work is centered around the genetics of diseases and traits that disproportionately affect African-descent populations such as uterine fibroids, cardiovascular disease, and drug response. My main goal is to identify African derived regions in the genome that might explain the disproportion of disease in at risk populations. - See more at: http://www.kylamcmullen.com/Articles/sexy-black-female-scientists.html#sthash.EYr4D99v.Jk8CFtYD.dpuf

Actually just about all of them have Phd…which are paid for by the school. They're winning...

Getting your doctorate doesn't mean you were given a scholarship or that your company paid for your education. Plus that also doesn't mean they received scholarships for undergrad and grad school.

hahah.. right.. "So you have a PH.D in physics huh? Well my. A+ was alot harder to get and holds more weight.. now let me tell you about the other 5 I have..."

Replace the A+ with a HVAC cert and you'd be winning :banderas:

A phd in the sciences and social sciences typically comes with tuition remission and a stipend from the university. You get that in exchange for doing research (which is how you get trained anyway). Tuition remission + stipend is not a scholarship, it's not anything special nor is it out of the ordinary…it's the standard. It's what the overwhelming majority of graduate students get. It's how graduate schools work (the professor gets cheap labor and the student gets a phd).

The bios of all those women include top research programs in their field. There is almost zero chance that any of them took out loans to pay for their phd degree. Google is your friend if you don't believe me in regard to how research phds work and are funded.

Doesn't mean they ain't got student loans from undergrad or pursuing their masters. Especially considering the majority of students leave college in student loan debt.
