Yale Physics professor Larry Gladney (who is also the Phyllis Wallace Dean of Diversity and Faculty Development in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences) and former Yale Physics and Wright Lab postdoc Danielle Speller (now an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins) have contributed to a series of essays on burnout that are written by Black physicists and co-published with Physics Today as part of #BlackInPhysics week 2021. The two articles are linked, below.
- “The physics of burn-in and burnout” by Gladney
- “Holding onto your identity” by Speller
#BlackInPhysics week, which was co-founded by Yale Physics Ph.D. alum Charles Brown, is an event dedicated to celebrating Black physicists and their contributions to the scientific community, and to revealing a more complete picture of what a physicist looks like.
