Dr. Raychelle Burks stumbled into her love for chemistry through Agatha Christie novels and Murder She Wrote episodes with her grandma. Now she’s a Twitter verified chemistry Blackademic that loves to connect one thing to another through pop culture references. In this conversation, we talk about the ways that pop culture and social media increase access to the science world and the visibility of marginalized communities in the STEM field. The presence of platforms like Twitter have taken chemistry off of a pedestal and placed it on an even playing field where all folks can participate. Dr. Burks shares how this digital space has also been a pillar of the community for her through her journey up, around, and outside the Ivory Tower.
