I think my name being common has always been funny to me. But the fact that there is at least one other person with my name publishing in the domains of womanism, afrofuturism, and STEM education continues to stun me.
Is this the power of a name?

Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force.
(Also, I just learned one reason the FDA rejected it at first was that they said the name Plan B was too glib!)
Great obit—no paywall.

Please, let's fund the translation of Zvinobvinza. It's been a long seven months.
Many thanks to the first cis white man who we see talk about the project.
At this point, we can't translate the third book unless someone can donate $5,000 (reach out directly) but we *can* close up these first two.

This is fascinating because this is such a new field and somehow they are going to hire 100 tenure-track faculty in the next 5 years who specialize in it. And yet when asked to fill spots with faculty of color/women/marginalized groups, administrators often cry about how the pipelines don't exist.
