After-school unit could be in Snow Hill by year�s end
SNOW HILL � One of the largest organizations of after-school programs for youth may be on its way to Snow Hill.
Greene County Schools Superintendent Patrick Miller said the potential of opening up a Boys and Girls Club chapter in Snow Hill came after he delivered a speech at a conference in early 2012.
�I was speaking at a conference in early spring last year and Misty Marston, the executive director of the Pitt County Boys and Girls Clubs, was in attendance,� Miller said. �We struck up a conversation that went in the direction of potentially opening up one in Greene County. It�s still all we�re talking about at this point.�
Miller believes county children would benefit from the club, which would be housed at Greene County Intermediate School.
�It would give our children some extra opportunities to get supervision, a chance to play, have fun, continue learning and build new skills to be successful down the road,� Miller said. �It would be a safe place for them to come after school, during the summer and teacher workdays.
�The Boys and Girls Club is nationally well-known, and their three priority outcomes that would benefit children of Greene County they provide are academic success, good character and citizenship and healthy lifestyles.�
Greene County Intermediate School principal Jada Mumford can attest to the positives of the Boys and Girls Club. Mumford ran the Mitchell Wooten club in Kinston from 1997-99.
�From my experience, the importance of reaching out into the community and building positive relationships are truly necessary,� Mumford said. �Mentors can provide an impact to these children outside of the classroom.�
Mumford said Greene County Intermediate School, which opened in 2011, was the school chosen in the planning stages of the Boys and Girls Club because it was the newest one in the area.
�Before Greene County Middle School opened, this was the school chosen,� Mumford said.
Currently, Miller and Marston are among others trying to raise funds to handle the costs of the Boys and Girls Club. Although Marston was unavailable for comment, in a recent interview with The Times-Leader in Grifton, she said �Sustainability is key. We are not about opening and closing Boys and Girls Clubs.�
Miller estimates more than $120,000 have been raised so far, but said Marston predicts it would take an additional $40,000.
�We are in the process of trying to collect donations, in what is called a founders drive,� Miller said. �The purpose is to have founders and commitments for first three years. We�re trying to get pledges, local businesses, churches and individuals to donate, so we can open up the club. The only barrier would be finances.�
Miller does have a goal for a time to have the Boys and Girls Club operational in Snow Hill.
�Our goal is to finish the founder�s drive and be open by December,� Miller said.

WORCESTER, Mass. - Senior Emily Kuo (Chicago, Ill.), who scored the only two MIT goals of the game, helped the women's soccer team edge out Clark, 2-1 in its second New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) match up of the season, raising her tally to eight. After winning the last four games in a row, the Engineers' record is now 6-2, while the Cougars dropped to 2-5-1.
MIT quickly got the lead when Kuo scored the first goal of the day off a penalty kick in the seventh minute of play. In the next 12 minutes of play, the Engineers shot at keeper Gabby Paolini five times, only one of which needed to be saved by Paolini. The sixth shot made it past the goalie and flew into the left side of the net after Kuo received an excellent pass from junior Michaelann Rodriguez (Florence, Ala.) and fellow senior Andrea Park (Irvine, Calif.) in the 34th minute. Senior goalkeeper Meghan Wright (Devon, Pa.) saved one shot before the first period ended, leaving the score at 2-0.
In the second half, the Engineers shot at the goal 10 times, five of which were by Kuo, but the score remained at 2-0 until the 79th minute when Hana Chamoun scored the only Clark goal of the game. With two more saves by Wright and one last attempt by Clark to tie up the game in the 89th minute, the clock ran out with MIT winning, 2-1.
The Cardinal and Gray return to action when they host Lesley on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 4:00 p.m. while the Cougars will host Western Connecticut State on the same day.

- Inspiration for my palette:
- I couldn't decide on a color palette so I basically just chose everything. My apartment was a blank industrial slate when I moved in + it's my first place without roommates, so I really wanted to infuse me into everything! Which meant bright colors, bright accents, and lots of fun meaningful things. I love it! And it's still a work in progress...
- Colors used in my room:
- Pink, teal, yellow, orange, black + white, grey,
- Tips for using color successfully:
- Follow your heart! There are lots of rules, but I usually will go with whatever makes me happy...which sometimes is not the same as "good design." I've tried to stick with yellow + pink + teal and balance things out with black + white + grey. Plus the icky industrial carpet + loft white walls keep things from getting too crazy...

Micro brother
Started and Finished: May 9 2013
Goal: equip an micro quadcopter with an onboard camera.
Who: Ardillo
Well after some hours of Java programming I needed c0ff33 and thought about an c0ff33 pr0j3ct. Nowadays big brother is watching you with unmanned vehicles, so why not make a tiny one myself?
In my goodie stash I had an Microcopter from the brand Reely, I bought it once from Conrad. Back then it was a bit cheaper then the price for which you can buy it now.
I had an very small video capture device as well, this one came from HobbyKing. So I wanted to combine the two together.
The vendor of Reely (Conrad) has it's own website for projects, they placed a blogpost about this project on their website.
Specs quadcopter
Reely is the homebrand of Conrad a supplier in electronics. The Reely quadcopter is a very small one. It comes with an 433MHz controller. The quadcopter has the normal 4 axes which you can expect from a quadcopter. There is a small 2S LiPo battery which has a 7.4V and 350mA.
To charge the battery you can place it in an USB dongle which can only be used to charge the battery. The Reely MC120 can easily by controlled. There is a switch on the bottom of the vehicle which can be used to change the sensitivity. While doing this a led on the vehicle changes color. There are three levels:
- Beginner, LED is green
- Advanced, LED is orange
- Pro, LED is red
For more detailed specs look at the site of Conrad.
Specs video device
HobbyKing sells this camera to place it under a wing of a RC plane. This camera unit has it own LiPo battery which is a 3.7V 850mAh. With this battery the camera can record up to 3 hours. So approximatly it will be around 250mA.
The device itself is coming from a normal commercial product an this is only its interns. This is a little annoying because it lacks a normal guide. There are three control buttons on the device and a fourth is the reset button. The guide can be found on the HobbyKing page. The bottomline is that it can take photo's and video, and both can also be triggered by any movement. So there are four use modes available for doing so.
The device can be connected to a tv through a AV cable which was included in the package. The data it records will be stored on a SDcard, which was not included.
There is also a microphone onboard, which will record the nice sounds of the props carving through the air.
The video device has a vibration motor to give feedback when you push a button..? Ok I don't need that, so I removed it. I removed the original battery as well, else it will be to heavy to even lift off.
The battery of the quadcopter is placed on the bottom of the vehicle with some velcro. Because I want to get to the controls of the video device and I want to record my video's normal, and not upside down, the only place for the video device was on the top of the vehicle. So I needed to remove the cover and place some foam on top of the PCB in addition to isolate it against short circuiting and flying vibrations.
The battery of the vehicle is a 2S battery and the video device only needs half of the voltage and current. So I connected the video device only on one cell, which is kind of temporary-solution and not that professional.
For a solution to attach the video device to the vehicle I replaced the original velcro with a longer one. This one is connected like the original one but also wrapped tight on top of the vehicle for securing the video device. The microphone is embedded in the frame and sticks out at the bottom next to the battery holder.
So will it fly, offcourse. I made an video and posted it on youtube, it works ok. The vehicle is sensitive to wind and the range of the controller isn't that great, but as a small project it's acceptable.
- Price of the vehicle = €79,99.
- Price of the recording device = $37.18 (exclusive shipping costs).
(which is around €28,30)
- Total cost of this project is then €108.29.
I ordered my stuff a while ago when it was cheaper, so my total is around €80.
Version 2.0
When flying I found the flying time to short, and the fact that the video device was only connected to one cell of the original battery asked for some improvement.
During my search for parts I found two 'heavy' LiPo's of 2S 7.4V and 950mAh, which means an longer flying time, Naizzz. So I made a adapter for the new battery.
When I connected it, it began to smell. Oh no... the magic smoke escapes....*sigh*
So what happened? D'oh... the video device is only 3.7V. So the magic smoke isn't in the device anymore. Well it's always good to have any spares. A lesson learned a while ago, luckily I had a spare in my inventory. So I tried to make a potential divider.
After measuring the voltage divider worked, but the video device wouldn't go on. Argh, what's wrong. As a backup solution I connected the original battery of the video device back on, and that worked. So now the vehicle has two battery's. One for flying and one for the video device. After that I made some improvement that the new battery will stick better and then it was time again for some testing. For even taking off it's necessary to set the vehicle to Pro mode (LED is red), this makes the motors more agile and giving more trust. This is needed due to the increased weight.
So what's next
Well, while building this project I found a new quadcopter. Much cheaper than this one but it can only be controlled by a DSM2 capable Radio, which makes it expensive after all if you don't have a radio like this. Luckily I have a radio like this.
So I ordered this one to hack around a bit.

Published 13 hours ago on December 12, 2018 By Washington Examiner Via The Washington Examiner… Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who arranged the bureau's interview with then-national security adviser Michael Flynn at the White House on Jan. 24, 2017 — the interview that ultimately led to Flynn's guilty plea on one count of making false statements — suggested Flynn not have a lawyer present at the session, according to newly-filed court documents. In addition, FBI officials, along with the two agents who interviewed Flynn, decided specifically not to warn him that there would be penalties for making false statements because the agents wanted to ensure that Flynn was "relaxed" during the session. The new information, drawn from McCabe's account of events plus the FBI agents' writeup of the interview — the so-called 302 report — is contained in a sentencing memo filed Tuesday by Flynn's defense team. Citing McCabe's account, the sentencing memo says that shortly after noon on Jan. 24 — the fourth day of the new Trump administration — McCabe called Flynn on a secure phone in Flynn's West Wing office. The two men discussed business briefly and then McCabe said that he "felt that we needed to have two of our agents sit down" with Flynn to discuss Flynn's talks with Russian officials during the presidential transition. McCabe, by his own account, urged Flynn to talk to the agents alone, without a lawyer present. "I explained that I thought the quickest way to get this done was to have a conversation between [Flynn] and the agents only," McCabe wrote. "I further stated that if LTG Flynn wished to include anyone else in the meeting, like the White House counsel for instance, that I would need to involve the Department of Justice. [Flynn] stated that this would not be necessary and agreed to meet with the agents without any additional participants." Within two hours, the agents were in Flynn's office. According to the 302 report quoted in the Flynn sentencing document, the agents said Flynn was "relaxed and jocular" and offered the agents "a little tour" of his part of the White House. "The agents did not provide Gen. Flynn with a warning of the penalties for making a false statement under 18 U.S.C. 1001 before, during, or after the interview," the Flynn memo says. According to the 302, before the interview, McCabe and other FBI officials "decided the agents would not warn Flynn that it was a crime to lie during an FBI interview because they wanted Flynn to be relaxed, and they were concerned that giving the warnings might adversely affect the rapport." The agents had, of course, seen transcripts of Flynn's wiretapped conversations with Russian then-ambassador Sergey Kislyak. "Before the interview, FBI officials had also decided that if 'Flynn said he did not remember something they knew he said, they would use the exact words Flynn used … to try to refresh his recollection. If Flynn still would not confirm what he said … they would not confront him or talk him through it,'" the Flynn memo says, citing the FBI 302. "One of the agents reported that Gen. Flynn was 'unguarded' during the interview and 'clearly saw the FBI agents as allies,'" the Flynn memo says, again citing the 302. Later in the memo, Flynn's lawyers argue that the FBI treated Flynn differently from two other Trump-Russia figures who have pleaded guilty to and been sentenced for making false statements. One of them, Alexander Van der Zwaan, "was represented by counsel during the interview; he was interviewed at a time when there was a publicly disclosed, full-bore investigation regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election; and he was given a warning that it is a federal crime to lie during the interview," according to the memo. The other, George Papadopoulos, "was specifically notified of the seriousness of the investigation…was warned that lying to investigators was a 'federal offense'…had time to reflect on his answers…and met with the FBI the following month for a further set of interviews, accompanied by his counsel, and did not correct his false statements." The message of the sentencing memo is clear: Flynn, his lawyers suggest, was surprised, rushed, not warned of the context or seriousness of the questioning, and discouraged from having a lawyer present. That is all the sentencing document contains about the interview itself. In a footnote, Flynn's lawyers noted that the government did not object to the quotations from the FBI 302 report. In one striking detail, footnotes in the Flynn memo say the 302 report cited was dated Aug. 22, 2017 — nearly seven months after the Flynn interview. It is not clear why the report would be written so long after the interview itself. The brief excerpts from the 302 used in the Flynn defense memo will likely spur more requests from Congress to see the original FBI documents. Both House and Senate investigating committees have demanded that the Justice Department allow them to see the Flynn 302, but have so far been refused. In the memo, Flynn's lawyers say that he made a "serious error in judgment" in the interview. Citing Flynn's distinguished 30-plus year record of service in the U.S. Army, they ask the judge to go along with special counsel Robert Mueller's recommendation that Flynn be spared any time in prison.

Published 17 hours ago on December 12, 2018 By Alex Christoforou The Duran's Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris take a quick look at French President Macron's pathetic display of leadership as he offers protestors little in the way of concessions while at the same time promising to crack down hard on any and all citizens who resort to violence. Meanwhile France's economy is set for a deep recession as French output and production grinds to a halt. Remember to Please Subscribe to The Duran's YouTube Channel. Follow The Duran Audio Podcast on Soundcloud. Via Zerohedge… As if Brussels didn't have its hands full already with Italy and the UK, the European Union will soon be forced to rationalize why one of its favorite core members is allowed to pursue populist measures to blow out its budget deficit to ease domestic unrest while another is threatened with fines potentially amounting to billions of euros. When blaming Russia failed to quell the widespread anger elicited by his policies, French President Emmanuel Macron tried to appease the increasingly violent "yellow vests" protesters who have sacked his capital city by offering massive tax cuts that could blow the French budget out beyond the 3% budget threshold outlined in the bloc's fiscal rules. Given the concessions recently offered by Italy's populists, Macron's couldn't have picked a worse time to challenge the bloc's fiscal conventions. As Bloomberg pointed out, these rules will almost certainly set the Continent's second largest economy on a collision course with Brussels. To be clear, Macron's offered cuts come with a price tag of about €11 billion according to Les Echos, and will leave the country with a budget gap of 3.5% of GDP in 2019, with one government official said the deficit may be higher than 3.6%. By comparison, Italy's initial projections put its deficit target at 2.4%, a number which Europe has repeatedly refused to consider. Macron's promises of fiscal stimulus – which come on top of his government's decision to delay the planned gas-tax hikes that helped inspire the protests – were part of a broader 'mea culpa' offered by Macron in a speech Monday night, where he also planned to hike France's minimum wage. Of course, when Brussels inevitably objects, perhaps Macron could just show them this video of French police tossing a wheelchair-bound protester to the ground. Already, the Italians are complaining. Speaking on Tuesday, Italian cabinet undersecretary Giancarlo Giorgetti said Italy hasn't breached the EU deficit limit. "I repeat that from the Italian government there is a reasonable approach, if there is one also from the EU a solution will be found." "France has several times breached the 3% deficit. Italy hasn't done it. They are different situations. There are many indicators to assess." Still, as one Guardian columnist pointed out in an op-ed published Tuesday morning, the fact that the gilets jaunes (yellow vest) organizers managed to pressure Macron to cave and grant concessions after just 4 weeks of protests will only embolden them to push for even more radical demands: The collapse of the government of the supremely unpopular Macron. Then again, with Brussels now facing certain accusations of hypocrisy, the fact that Macron was pressured into the exact same populist measures for which Italy has been slammed, the French fiasco raises the odds that Rome can pass any deficit measure it wants with the EU now forced to quietly look away even as it jawbones all the way from the bank (i.e., the German taxpayers). "Macron's spending will encourage Salvini and Di Maio," said Giovanni Orsina, head of the School of Government at Rome's Luiss-Guido Carli University. "Macron was supposed to be the spearhead of pro-European forces, if he himself is forced to challenge EU rules, Salvini and Di Maio will jump on that to push their contention that those rules are wrong." While we look forward to how Brussels will square this circle, markets are less excited. Exhausted from lurching from one extreme to another following conflicting headlines, traders are already asking if "France is the new Italy." The reason: the French OAT curve has bear steepened this morning with 10Y yields rising as much as ~6bp, with the Bund/OAT spread reaching the widest since May 2017 and the French presidential election. Though well below the peaks of last year, further widening would push the gap into levels reserved for heightened political risk. As Bloomberg macro analyst Michael Read notes this morning, it's hard to see a specific near-term trigger blowing out the Bund/OAT spread but the trend looks likely to slowly drift higher. While Macron has to fight on both domestic and European fronts, he'll need to keep peace at home to stay on top. Remember that we saw the 10Y spread widen to ~80bps around the May '17 elections as concerns of a move toward the political fringe played out in the markets, and the French President's popularity ratings already look far from rosy. And just like that France may have solved the Italian crisis. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon! Continue Reading Latest Watch: Democrat Chuck Schumer shows his East Coast elitism on live TV Amazing moment in which the President exhibits "transparency in government" and shows the world who the Democrat leaders really are. Published 18 hours ago on December 12, 2018 By Seraphim Hanisch One of the reasons Donald Trump was elected to the Presidency was because of his pugnacious, "in your face" character he presented – and promised TO present – against Democrat policy decisions and "stupid government" in general. One of the reasons President Donald Trump is reviled is because of his pugnacious, "in your face" character he presented – and promised TO present – in the American political scene. In other words, there are two reactions to the same characteristic. On Tuesday, the President did something that probably cheered and delighted a great many Americans who witnessed this. The Democrats have been unanimous in taking any chance to roast the President, or to call for his impeachment, or to incite violence against him. But Tuesday was President Trump's turn. He invited the two Democrat leaders, presumptive incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and then, he turned the cameras on: As Tucker Carlson notes, the body language from Schumer was fury. The old (something)-eating grin covered up humiliation, embarrassment and probably no small amount of fear, as this whole incident was filmed and broadcast openly and transparently to the American public. Nancy Pelosi was similarly agitated, and she expressed it later after this humiliation on camera, saying, "It's like a manhood thing for him… As if manhood could ever be associated with him." She didn't stop there. According to a report from the New York Daily News, the Queen Bee took the rhetoric a step below even her sense of dignity: Pelosi stressed she made clear to Trump there isn't enough support in Congress for a wall and speculated the President is refusing to back down because he's scared to run away with his tail between his legs. "I was trying to be the mom. I can't explain it to you. It was so wild," Pelosi said of the Oval Office meet, which was also attended by Vice President Pence and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). "It goes to show you: you get into a tinkle contest with a skunk, you get tinkle all over you." This represented the first salvo in a major spin-job for the ultra-liberal San Francisco Democrat. The rhetoric spun by Mrs. Pelosi and Chuck Schumer was desperate as they tried to deflect their humiliation and place it back on the President: With reporters still present, Trump boasted during the Oval meeting he would be "proud" to shutdown the government if Congress doesn't earmark cash for his wall before a Dec. 21 spending deadline. Pelosi told Democrats that Trump's boisterousness will be beneficial for them. "The fact is we did get him to say, to fully own that the shutdown was his," Pelosi said. "That was an accomplishment." The press tried to characterize this as a "Trump Tantrum", saying things like this lede: While "discussing" a budgetary agreement for the government, President Donald Trump crossed his arms and declared: "we will shut down the government if there is no wall." While the Democrats and the mainstream media in the US are sure to largely buy these interpretations of the event, the fact that this matter was televised live shows that the matter was entirely different, and this will be discomfiting to all but those Democrats and Trump-dislikers that will not look at reality. There appears to be a twofold accomplishment for the President in this confrontation: The President revealed to his support base the real nature of the conversation with the Democrat leadership, because anyone watching this broadcast (and later, video clip) saw it unedited with their own eyes. They witnessed the pettiness of both Democrats and they witnessed a President completely comfortable and confident about the situation. President Trump probably made many of his supporters cheer with the commitment to shut down the government if he doesn't get his border wall funding. This cheering is for both the strength shown about getting the wall finished and the promise to shut the government down, and further, Mr. Trump's assertion that he would be "proud" to shut the government down, taking complete ownership willingly, reflects a sentiment that many of his supporters share. The usual pattern is for the media, Democrats and even some Republicans to create a "scare" narrative about government shutdowns, about how doing this is a sure-fire path to chaos and suffering for the United States. But the educated understanding of how shutdowns work reveals something completely different. Vital services never close. However, National Parks can close partly or completely, and some non-essential government agencies are shuttered. While this is an inconvenience for the employees furloughed during the shutdown, they eventually are re-compensated for the time lost, and are likely to receive help during the shutdown period if they need it. The impact on the nation is minimal, aside from the fact that the government stops spending money at the same frenetic pace as usual. President Trump's expression of willingness to do this action and his singling out of the Dem leadership gives the Democrats a real problem. Now the entire country sees their nature. As President Trump is a populist, this visceral display of Democrat opposition and pettiness will make at least some impact on the population, even that group of people who are not Trump fans. The media reaction and that of the Democrats here show, amazingly, that after three years-plus of Donald Trump being a thorn in their side, they still do not understand how he works, and they also cannot match it against their expected "norms" of establishment behavior. This may be a brilliant masterstroke, and it also may be followed up by more. The President relishes head-to-head conflict. The reactions of these congress members showed who they really are.

This New Year's Day pause provides an opportunity to look back over the past 12 months and recall where we've been before we wade into the 12 months ahead. We present this retrospective to help you bring to mind the big stories of the year and also some of the smaller ones that have touched our lives in Addison County in Brandon. Below you'll find a link to each month's recap. Happy New Year!
Following the decision by a grand jury not to indict Ferguson, Mo., police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, 100 Middlebury College students and staff demonstrated in front of Mead Chapel. The shooting and the decision not to indict ignited nationwide discussions around police brutality and racism. Later this month several dozen Middlebury students held a "die-in" to draw more attention to unequal treatment by police.
The election was the big story in November.
Drivers here, as in the rest of Vermont, had to remind themselves that on Oct. 1 a new law that banned talking on cell phones while driving went into effect.
Shoreham residents mourned the loss of their selectboard chairman, Paul Saenger, who died Oct. 5 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Saenger, 59, had been in his 10th year on the selectboard at the time of his death. Former Selectwoman Karen Shackett was appointed to serve the balance of Saenger's one-year term, which will be up for grabs in March on Town Meeting Day.
On July 2, the Public Service Board experienced a bout of sticker shock when Vermont Gas Systems announced a $36 million cost increase for its Phase I pipeline project. The company said the 40 percent hike was due to increased oversight and a nationwide surge in demand for pipeline construction. State regulators were not amused, and fined the company $35,000 for failing to draft an updated budget for more than a year.
In June, Middlebury learned a project that will disrupt downtown life and traffic will be delayed until this coming spring: Replacement of the two railway overpasses under Main Street and Merchants Row. Officials said design changes and logistical issues were behind the postponement. A concrete tunnel will eventually supplant the two overpasses and taller passenger trains will be able to use the tracks.
Tears flowed as May arrived. Popular longtime Middlebury Union High School physics teacher and football coach Carl Ciemniewski — better known as Mr. C, Coach Z or just Z to his students, athletes and friends, respectively — collapsed and died while attending a Tiger boys' lacrosse game. He was just 55, but had a history of heart issues.

Tell us about your current career position.During my postdoctoral training as a biochemist, I started volunteer activities to help underrepresented postdocs. My activities began at conferences of the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science. While I saw that there were many support systems for minority students, there was none specifically for postdocs. I founded the SACNAS Postdoc Committee and co-founded the Diversity Committee of the National Postdoctoral Association with Dr. Arti Patel. In 2004, a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation allowed me to organize the Minority Postdoc Summit and to create the Web portal MinorityPostdoc.org. Since 2010, I have been working full time as a diversity consultant, helping graduate students transition to postdoc training and helping grads (and) postdocs find professional positions. I am eliminating the inertial barrier of "we do not know where to find them" that search committees express when faced with the challenge of diversifying a candidate pool.
What are the key experiences and decisions that have helped you reach your current position?I maintained my diversity volunteer work at a high level in case it would be my backup career if a faculty position did not pan out. I did interview for an assistant professor position at California State University, Fullerton; but, the search committee did not hire anyone that year. Briefly, I took a position as a diversity administrator in the graduate division at the University of California, Irvine. However, I realized that the responsibilities were too limiting and would inhibit my work on the national problem of disenfranchised postdocs. Being on my own gives me the freedom to work with any constituents who want to help the most underserved stage of the Ph.D. training pipeline. Since my wife was also searching for faculty positions, I decided that pursuing a portable career would better support our priorities in raising children and staying close to extended family. My effort in creating end products from my volunteer activities has now paid off, since I can show clients my website, articles and events as accomplishments that can safeguard their investment.
How did you first become interested in science?Growing up, I made dinosaur picture books and explored the bayou forests of my hometown Houston, Texas. In high school, I was captivated by biology, especially biomolecules like protein and DNA. As the son of a physician and nurse, I was exposed to biomedical careers. However, a college summer research experience at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson (Cancer Center) with Professor Edwin Murphy exposed me to the idea of graduate school for Ph.D. training.
Were there times when you failed at something you felt was critical to your path? How did you regroup and get back on track?Inexperience is often the root cause of most setbacks, beginning with mistakes in coursework, foul-ups at the bench and later navigating the politics of academia, such as paper authorship. Graduate school is a wonderful opportunity to explore research, but careers are built on accomplishments. I wish I had learned earlier how to balance the exciting, high-risk questions with more pedestrian, but publishable, experiments. I ended up with essentially two thesis projects (theoretical bioinformatics and experiment-based molecular biology) when I should have picked one and completed my Ph.D. sooner. Getting back on track involved choosing a postdoctoral project where the publications came quicker but not necessarily easier.
What advice would you give to young persons from underrepresented backgrounds who want to pursue a career in science similar to yours?
My general advice would be to focus on a specialty and be productive through deliverables such as publications in either peer-reviewed journals or news stories. My motto is "we're all minorities, so let's help each other" because being a minority just depends upon your context. Thus, we should all help one another achieve common goals. I also recommend practice to improve writing skills that are critical to careers in academia and other sectors. While many students are regularly texting, they should use long-form writing to communicate thoughtful ideas. I will be exploring the use of blogs as a training ground for students to build up their writing momentum for future projects such as manuscripts and theses (1).
My specific counsel for underrepresented, marginalized individuals is to draw upon your resilience when facing environments and circumstances that disrespect your values and accomplishments. While your home community of family and friends might not understand your research, their unconditional support should stoke your drive to push forward through adversity. Be true to yourself, and your priorities when balancing work and personal demands. Use wise mentors so that you do not have to toil alone; but, be prepared to listen to advice that may contradict your short-term view. For example, in college I have Professor Nancy Mills to thank for setting me straight when I was falling behind in my organic chemistry class. Finally, once you are a successful, remember to give back so that others can benefit, too.
What are your hobbies?Since graduate school, I found that movies with a great plot distract my curious mind and allow me to forget the troubles of the day. Later, my wife and I became parents and our fulfilling hobby was caring for our daughter.
What was the last book you read?"Consulting for Dummies," since research training does not teach self-sufficiency outside of academic settings. I plan to create my own nonprofit in the near future.
Do you have any heroes, heroines or role models? If so, describe how they have influenced you?From my personal life, my parents are my role models. They are dedicated to each other and their family. My parents arrived to the U.S. with little money, but their education from Peru led to successful careers. My papa likes to say that no one cares where he went to medical school. With three boys, my mami stayed home taking care of us but took leadership positions in school and neighborhood volunteer activities. So I learned the value of hard work, family bonds and community engagement.
From my professional realm, I hold in high regard Professor Gisela Mosig, who was a recombination geneticist. Her career is chronicled in a Genetics "Perspectives" article (2) so I only highlight what I learned from her. She challenged dogma, beginning with her high-school biology classes in communist East Germany that were politicized with the imposed teachings of Lysenko. She was also a humble scientist who took very seriously the mentoring of her own students and other young scholars. SACNAS teaches us to respect the sacrifices of our elder science predecessors. I am heartened when I also find role models in my recombination community to emulate.
What is it that keeps you going?I live for building communities and correcting social injustice. My passion is mentoring people to achieve their potential, and this drives my diversity work. In science, I still maintain a bioinformatics project to satisfy my curiosity about proteins. Remaining active in research legitimizes my advice to students and postdocs about how to conduct academic life.
