'African Americans And Science'

January 25, 2010 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 88, Issue 4

The informative guest editorial by Sibrina N. Collins calls to mind the accomplishments of W. Lincoln Hawkins (Linc, to his friends), an alumnus of Rensselaer (B.Ch.E. 1932) (C&EN, Oct. 26, 2009, page 3). Hawkins was a recipient of the National Medal of Technology and the first African American engineer inducted into the National Academy of Engineering.

Thank you for publishing "African Americans And Science." I do not usually see articles of this type outside of Black History Month. Thank you for taking the time to recognize this important issue.
