Yvettep,

THANKS, babe. Great article. Though it would have been even BETTER had it focused less on sheepskin and appointments and MORE upon concrete manifestations of Massey's and his proteges' education and works.

LOL. Yeah, ABM, but consider the source: Princeton PR... Can't blame universities for wanting to highlight their achievements in diversity LOL

Wasn't that pic of the brothers all standing together WONDERFUL? Hope this inspires you to go get that physics PhD you been talkin bout :-)

You know, actually it does. They help prove that it's okay for a brotha to be math and science nerd. Hahahahaha!!!

Thanks again for posting it.

Thank you Ms. Yvettep! That was a wonderful read. I really liked it. I love seeing brothers and sisters stepping up to the hard physical sciences and math. We are sorely underrepresented in this field. A very good high school friend of mine went to Princeton. When in high school, he told everyone he wanted to be a nuclear physicist. Well, the brother man went to Princeton and did his graduate and PhD work at Cornell University. HE NOW HAS A PHD IN NUCLEAR PHYSICS! Very smart guy. We lost contact over the years but I often think about him. My other partner went to MIT. He later became a medical doctor. Bravo Zulu to all these very brilliant and accomplished brothers. Thanks again for the article. We need more like this.
