This is a pic from the September 2024 Black Studies Research Institute (in STEMM) Symposium on Black Methods in Science, Technology, and Innovation Research, in a plenary discussion with Dr. Fatimah Jackson-Best. This discussion was lively, insightful and inciting.

Deeply saddened by the death of Dr. Pemberton Cyrus. Dr. Cyrus was a lovely and talented person who supported many. He will be missed by many! Please keep his family and friends in your thoughts. #WalkGood #PembertonCyrus For more information: lnkd.in/eUtycmt9
