                <text>Dr. OmiSoore Dryden developed a passion for social science and health equity from an early age, influenced by her parents' professions in education and nursing. She pursued undergraduate studies in political science, sociology, and women and gender studies, focusing on racial social justice and the intersectional realities of Black queer women. Her M.A. research furthered these themes, and her Ph.D. at the University of Toronto delved into the protocols and effects of blood donation, particularly concerning Black and LGBTQ+ communities. &#13;
&#13;
As the James R. Johnston Chair in Black Canadian Studies at Dalhousie University, Dr. Dryden has focused on health inequities, systemic racism in healthcare, and the historical context of medical practices. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she highlighted the disproportionate impact on Black communities, advocating for equitable healthcare responses. Her research aims to build communities of care, particularly for Black LGBTQ+ individuals, and she emphasizes challenging systemic biases in health and science while fostering community-driven wellness solutions. Dr. Dryden's work is a testament to her commitment to social justice and health equity.</text>

                <text>Dr. Jonathan Auguste, born in Trinidad and Tobago, and raised in Arima, where he experienced both urban and rural lifestyles. Despite a challenging start to his undergraduate career, he excelled academically at the University of the West Indies (UWI), where he majored in biochemistry and minored in biotechnology. Encouraged by a professor, he pursued a Ph.D., publishing eight peer-reviewed papers and receiving an award for the most outstanding science dissertation at UWI. After completing his Ph.D., he moved to the U.S. for a postdoctoral position at the University of Texas Medical Branch.&#13;
&#13;
Dr. Auguste is now an assistant professor at Virginia Tech in the Department of Entomology. His research focuses on arbovirology, including viral discovery, vaccine development, and understanding virus-mosquito interactions. He has made significant contributions to vaccine development for viruses like Zika and studies on the impact of insect-only viruses on mosquito-borne disease transmission. Dr. Auguste is also dedicated to mentoring and supporting underrepresented minorities in STEM, actively participating in various recruitment and outreach programs. </text>

                <text>Dr. Jessica Lee Ware, born on May 12, 1977, is an entomologist currently holding a dream position at the American Museum of Natural History. Raised in Toronto by a single mother and later her father, Dr. Ware grew up in a challenging environment but found solace and inspiration in academics and nature. Her early life was marked by financial struggles and the complexities of her biracial identity. But despite these obstacles, Dr. Ware excelled in school, eventually attending the University of British Columbia (UBC), where she discovered her passion for entomology. She continued her education at Rutgers University, where she earned her Ph.D. and began her career in academia.&#13;
&#13;
Throughout her journey, Dr. Ware has faced numerous challenges, including racism, financial hardship, and balancing motherhood with her academic pursuits. Her determination and resilience led her to secure prestigious fellowships and a tenure-track position at Rutgers, which she eventually achieved. Dr. Ware's work extends beyond her research on dragonflies and termites; she is deeply committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM.</text>

                <text>Dr. Juana Mendenhall, born in Greensboro, North Carolina, grew up in a supportive family who fostered her analytic skills. As a curious child, Juana's interest in STEM was sparked by a gifted chemistry set and computer, leading her to self-teach programming. For university, she pursued these interests, graduating with a degree in chemistry. Although she initially aspired to be a pharmacists, she shifted her focus to material science and chemistry after working in toxicology. &#13;
&#13;
Dr. Mendenhall's career journey includes earning her Ph.D. from Clark Atlanta University, where she worked on synthetic DNA and nanobiotechnology. She further advanced her research at Cornell University and Georgia Tech, focusing on biomedical engineering. Now a tenured professor at Morehouse College, she mentors students and emphasizes the importance of continual learning and persistence. </text>

                  <text>This collection consists of oral history interviews conducted in 2021 with Black researchers. Beginning in 2021, graduate students supported by Virginia Tech's Center for Communicating Science interviewed Black professionals engaged in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) research, asking questions about narrators’ research, career paths, advice to younger researchers, joys, frustrations, barriers, and childhood experiences. Interviews were conducted by Virginia Tech graduate students Amber Wendler, Daniel Smith, Korin Jones, Kregg Quarles, and Mika Pagani under the direction of Carrie Kroehler and Patty Raun.</text>

                <text>Dr. Aris Benjamin Winger II, from Washington, D.C., is a mathematics educator at Georgia Gwinnett College. His early interest in mathematics was encouraged by significant mentors and his family, which inspired him to pursue higher education at Howard University and later Carnegie Mellon University. His career has included a significant tenure at Emory &amp; Henry College, where he founded the Men of Color Alliance to support students of color and engage in critical conversations about race and identity.&#13;
&#13;
Dr. Winger’s professional work emphasizes equity in math education, advocating for inclusive teaching practices. This commitment to creating equitable environments is evident through his continuous work with educators and organizations, where mathematics is accessible and affirming for all students. His story highlights the importance of mentorship, resilience, and the ongoing fight against systemic racism in education.</text>

                <text>Dr. Sarah Lemer is an assistant professor in marine invertebrate genomics at the University of Guam, focusing on mollusk evolution and coral gene expression during climate change. Growing up, Dr. Lemer lived in multiple countries due to her father's job as a hotel manager. Her early exposure to diverse cultures and coastal environments fueled her interest in marine biology. She pursued her undergraduate and master's degrees in France, where she developed an interest in coral reef environments, leading to many research experiences. &#13;
&#13;
Dr. Lemer's career highlights include her postdoctoral work at Harvard University's Museum of Comparative Zoology, where she advanced her skills in bioinformatics and gene expression analysis. She later joined the University of Guam, where both she and her husband, also a researcher in population genetics, were offered positions.&#13;
&#13;
Key points from the interview highlight Dr. Lemer's challenges and experiences as a woman of color in academia. She discussed the cultural differences in racial perceptions between France, the U.S., and Guam, emphasizing the microaggressions in France versus the overt racism in the U.S. Dr. Lemer finds Guam to be more inclusive, though she notes ongoing issues with sexism. She advocates for greater support and inclusivity for Black researchers and emphasizes the importance of speaking up and helping others advance in their careers.</text>

                <text>Dr. Pascale Schaaba Guiton, grew up in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, before moving to the United States at 18. She currently serves as an assistant professor of biological sciences at Santa Clara University, where her research focuses on exploring regulatory mechanisms of cellular differentiation and identifying virulence determinants. Despite facing cultural and educational challenges upon moving to the U.S., she excelled in her studies, particularly in organic chemistry, under the mentorship of supportive professors at Georgia State University. She pursued her Ph.D. at Washington University in St. Louis and postdoctoral work at Stanford University, leading her into academia,&#13;
&#13;
Key moments of the interview cover Dr. Guiton's complex identity as mixed-race, embracing her Black identity in America while facing challenges fitting into both African and African American communities. She also candidly discussed her experiences with mental health, emphasizing the importance of seeking help and being open about mental health challenges. Mentorship played a crucial role in her career, and she now advocates for diversity and inclusivity in academia, dedicating herself to creating a supportive environment for BIPOC students in STEM. </text>

                <text>Dr. Austin Douglas Gray, born oin North Charleston, South Carolina, is an assistant professor in the biological sciences department at Virginia Tech. Growing up, Dr. Gray was inspired by his father's academic achievements and his mother's dedication to success. Despite personal challenges early in life, Dr. Gray pursued his passion for science, sparked by early exposure to science shows like "Bill Nye the Science Guy" and "The Magic School Bus."&#13;
&#13;
Dr. Gray attended The Citadel Military College of South Carolina, where he faced rigorous and discriminatory environment. His undergraduate experience, particularly working in an aquatic toxicology lab, solidified his interest in research. After completing his master’s at The Citadel, he faced barriers in pursuing a Ph.D. but persevered, eventually enrolling at UNC Greensboro. Dr. Gray’s journey through academia has been marked by resilience and a commitment to mentoring future scientists, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds. </text>

                  <text>This collection consists of oral history interviews conducted in 2021 with Black researchers. Beginning in 2021, graduate students supported by Virginia Tech's Center for Communicating Science interviewed Black professionals engaged in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) research, asking questions about narrators’ research, career paths, advice to younger researchers, joys, frustrations, barriers, and childhood experiences. Interviews were conducted by Virginia Tech graduate students Amber Wendler, Daniel Smith, Korin Jones, Kregg Quarles, and Mika Pagani under the direction of Carrie Kroehler and Patty Raun.</text>

                <text>Dr. Kevin Cox, born and raised in Florissant, Missouri, is a postdoctoral associate at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center. He attended the University of Missouri in St. Louis for his bachelor's degree in biology. Initially aspiring to become a pediatrician, his interest shifted to microbiology during his undergraduate studies. His parents, while supportive in is career paths, were hesitant about his switch into research. &#13;
&#13;
Dr. Cox’s undergraduate experience highlighted the lack of diversity in his biology courses, often being the only Black student in advanced classes. He decided to pursue graduate school after gaining research experience at the Danforth Center, leading him to Texas A&amp;M University for his Ph.D. He faced challenges such as balancing family life and studies, managing publishing pressures, and adapting to Texas culture. His love for mentoring students and his passion for science communication, demonstrated through his "Bioguy" persona on YouTube and streaming platforms, drive his commitment to academia and expanding public understanding of science.</text>

                <text>Dr. Vernon Morris, as an Air Force brat, grew up in many places including the United States and Japan. His early education was marked by combative experiences with teachers, leading him to focus on sports and later develop an interest in science. Influenced by mentors at Morehouse College, he pursued atmospheric chemistry, contributing significantly to the field through projects like the Aerosols and Ocean Science Expeditions (AEROSE) campaign, studying the impact of African dust storms on the Atlantic region.&#13;
&#13;
After finishing his education, spent many years at Howard University in various roles within the Department of Chemistry, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Atmospheric Sciences. Later, he went on to become the Director of the School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences at the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at Arizona State University (ASU).  &#13;
&#13;
Key points from the interview include Dr. Morris's role in creating initiatives at ASU to support African American and BIPOC scholars, his experiences growing up in a military family, and his journey through higher education and scientific research. He also discussed the challenges of addressing social justice issues within academia, the importance of structural change, and the need for future generations to focus on impactful actions, coalition-building, and leadership involvement to create lasting equity and inclusivity in STEM.</text>

                <text>Scott Edwards, raised in Colorado Springs and New York City, developed an early interest in natural history and birds. He attended Phillips Exeter Academy for high school and went on to Harvard University, initially studying the history of science before switching to biology. After a transformative gap year, he committed to ornithology, leading him to pursue it for a further education. Edwards pursued graduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley, supported by a National Science Foundation fellowship, conducting significant field research in New Guinea and Australia, and later completed a postdoc at the University of Florida focusing on MHC genes in birds.&#13;
&#13;
Edwards' academic career includes faculty positions at the University of Washington and Harvard University, where he has contributed significantly to evolutionary biology. He emphasizes a balanced approach to teaching, research, and outreach, particularly through programs aimed at increasing diversity in science. Notable achievements include leading a groundbreaking project on the genetic basis of flight loss in birds, published in Science. Throughout the interview, Edwards highlights the importance of mentorship and following one's passion, encouraging students of color to pursue their interests and build supportive networks despite systemic challenges in academia.</text>

                <text>Dr. Ela-Sita Carpenter, born in Baltimore, Maryland, grew up in a small, nature-loving family. Despite living in a cramped rowhouse, her parents fostered her early interest in nature. This passion led her to Hampton University, where she studied biological sciences. After completing her undergraduate studies, she attended Christopher Newport University for her master’s in environmental science, focusing on bat roosting behavior. Despite graduating, she felt unprepared with practical skills, leading her to various technician jobs and environmental education roles. Eventually, she pursued a Ph.D. at the University of Missouri, studying the impact of urban vacant lots on bat communities in Baltimore.&#13;
&#13;
In her professional journey, Dr. Carpenter has made significant contributions as an urban wildlife biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at Masonville Cove. Her role involves a unique combination of ecological research, community outreach, and education. Dr. Carpenter emphasizes the importance of outreach and communication, striving to make nature accessible and relatable to urban communities. She continues to inspire others by fostering connections between people and nature, particularly in underserved urban areas.</text>

                <text>Dr. Keenan Jerome Adams, born at Landstuhl Air Force Base in Germany, grew up navigating the complexities of his mixed heritage and frequent relocations due to his father's Air Force career. Despite initial academic hurdles, Keenan excelled in science and math, eventually attending Furman University on a football scholarship. There, he shifted his focus from pre-med to natural resource management, thanks to influential mentors. Keenan continued his studies, earning a master's and Ph.D. from Clemson University, with his research focusing on bird communities and African American landownership, respectively.&#13;
&#13;
Keenan's career in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service included notable roles in Florida, Colorado, and Puerto Rico, where he contributed to conservation efforts and disaster recovery. Sections of the interview highlight his experiences with systemic racism, tokenism, and the importance of community and mentorship. Keenan's commitment to helping disenfranchised communities and his innovative approaches, such as voluntourism, underscore his dedication to making a positive impact. </text>

                <text>In this second part of the oral history interview, former Congressman Rick Boucher focuses this interview on the legislative achievements he was involved in during his time in the State Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. &#13;
&#13;
After getting elected to the Virginia State Senate in 1975, Boucher immediately immersed himself in state policy, including areas of environmental conservation, domestic abuse, drug reform, and telecommunications. His first major legislative achievement was being primary author on Virginia’s first oil and gas act, which addressed vagueness regarding jurisdiction and regularized the development of natural gas coincident with coal. &#13;
&#13;
Another legislative piece was a tax on marriage, that—while prima facie unusual—provided a consistent stream of funding for spousal abuse shelters. Further, he helped to reform sexual assault laws by revising laws disallowing for general reputation testimony to be used in court. Later, Boucher was approached by Lewis Hurst in order to address Virginia’s drug laws, which had previously treated all drug offenses with the same severity. In a years-long effort, the state fundamentally reformed the drug laws, becoming the first state to legalize medical marijuana use. &#13;
&#13;
His work in these issues continued into his terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. Three days after being elected, Ernie Dickerman, President of the Virginia Wilderness Committee, approached Boucher to introduce his first bill as a Representative: Virginia’s first wilderness legislation. Under this bill, acreage of Virginia’s wilderness was protected, enhancing tourism and protecting natural resources. &#13;
&#13;
The start of his involvement with telecommunications was in addressing the needs of his district, where many rural residents were unable to receive network television signals. He led negotiations that allowed for rural residents to receive distant television signals in the 1980s. Later in the 1996 Communications Act, he helped introduce competition in telecommunications between cable and telephone companies. &#13;
&#13;
To end, Boucher discusses the Clean Air Amendments of 1991, where he was involved with establishing a cap-and-trade system to limit sulfur emissions in the state of Virginia. Although the program was not up taken to limit greenhouse gas emissions nationwide in the Clean Air Act, he is proud of the system in Virginia and believes that it is necessary to reduce emissions. &#13;
&#13;
Following his passion for public service from the first interview, here Boucher emphasizes the need to be active in the lawmaking process. Despite how active he was in introducing bills and chairing committees, his name was not often on the final bills at the time of promulgation. While some may take issue with their name being erased, Boucher pragmatically looks at the purpose of his job. He is satisfied when the job is done, as he is enabling Congress to properly function as a lawmaking body. </text>

                <text>M. Rupert Cutler was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan in 1933. Following his father's alma mater, he attended the University of Michigan and received his Bachelor's degree in Wildlife Management in 1955. His love for environmentalism and resource management, led him to pursue both a Master's and PhD in resource management in later years. &#13;
&#13;
Cutler's career in wilderness started prior to the completion of his PhD. In 1957, he started his post of the executive secretary of Wildlife Conservation Incorporated in Boston. Throughout the years, he served as the associate editor of Virginia Wildlife, editor for the National Wildlife Federation, and the assistant executive director of the Wilderness Society. Upon finishing his PhD, he became an assistant professor, and going on to serve as the Assistant Secretary of Agriculture for Conservation, Research, and Education under the Carter Administration. &#13;
&#13;
He arrived in Southwest Virginia in January of 1991, when he moved to Roanoke, Virginia to serve as the executive director of Virginia's Explore Park. From 1997 until 2010, he continued to work in Virginia's natural resources, including (but not limited to) land conservation, Natural Parks, and waste water treatment. In this oral history interview, Cutler covers his long career, how he arrived in Roanoke, VA, and his work serving Southwest Virginia for 30 years. Throughout the interview, his service and passion is evident as he has dedicated his life to environmentalism, and better the community through it. </text>

                <text>This item is a c.1910s children's toy stove. When used, this stove would have been fueled by kerosene. This stove is missing some parts and has some damage, but it includes the stove, two pots (one with a lid), a kettle, a small baking pan, several kerosene burners, and handles from missing pots. The stove is missing the chimney, a few handles on stove doors, and likely several small pots and a larger vessel with a spout for heating water.&#13;
&#13;
Special Collections and University Archives staff believe this is a working toy stove, as these were commonly sold in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, however, it has also been suggested this was a salespersons' model, as it would have been more portable than an actual stove. </text>

Of the hundred, 75 were made of copper and 25, as is the case with this example, are silver over copper. The original seal was produced for the CSA in 1864 by J. A. and A. B. Wyon, London, Chief Engravers of Seals for the British Monarchy. Accompanying the seal is a letter of authentication from Wyon dated 6 March 1874, verifying the authenticity of the impression as a faithful reproduction of the original. The Seal is held in its original gutta percha box.</text>

Of the hundred, 75 were made of copper and 25, as is the case with this example, are silver over copper. The original seal was produced for the CSA in 1864 by J. A. and A. B. Wyon, London, Chief Engravers of Seals for the British Monarchy. Accompanying the seal is a letter of authentication from Wyon dated 6 March 1874, verifying the authenticity of the impression as a faithful reproduction of the original. The Seal is held in its original gutta percha box.</text>
