Mandy Hill, DrPH, MPH One of America’s 1,000 Inspiring Black Scientists

Mandy Hill, DrPH, MPH, Associate Professor and Director Of Population Health in the Department of Emergency Medicine was named to Cell Mentor’s 1,000 Inspiring Black Scientists in America.

The Community of Scholars formed the list of 1,000 Inspiring Black Scientists in America to dismantle the myth that outstanding Black scientists make up a small percentage of the scientific community.

As a scientist, we accept failure at a level that most professions will never experience in the breadth of their career. We spend months writing grants that are often rejected. We write manuscripts that are deemed unworthy of journals much more often than they are accepted. So, when we receive positive accolades, especially among our peers, it feels surreal. It’s an honor and a privilege to be listed among vaccine developers, mathematicians, clinical researchers, and groundbreakers in science. It’s most of all purposeful to be etched in history as one of the 1,000 Black scientists who inspired a generation of future scientists.
