Women engineers bring the professional triumphs and global impacts of their work to the world of entertainment, lending their time and expertise to television, advertising, and feature films. Engineer, STEM advocate, and Emmy Award-nominated TV host Tamara Robertson nearly drowned while filming a segment for Mythbusters: The Search, a reality competition show on the Science Channel. But she can laugh about it now and draw inspiration from the event. Robertson, a fabricator and chemical and biomolecular engineer, was working on a challenge for the show that involved making shoes out of life-vest foam to “walk” on water. The contestants tried out their shoes by gingerly entering a swimming pool at the deep end and trying to walk on top of the water to the shallow end. Robertson got entangled in her shoestrings - strings she had designed so that the shoes wouldn’t slip off - and ended up face down in the water with the shoes floating above her. She had no way to cut the strings, and she couldn’t come up for air.

Black women represent less than 7% of doctoral candidates in science and engineering, and less than 9% of the STEM workforce. We can do better. The AAMC Black Women in Scientific Research (BWiSR) project amplifies the voices and experiences of Black women researchers in academic medicine, with the understanding that when Black women are the authors of their own narratives, it provides essential perspectives beyond what quantitative data can reveal. Using intersectionality as a framework, the AAMC BWiSR project highlights biomedical researchers representing the career spectrum - early-career pioneers, mid-career leaders, and established experts. These researchers offer their perspectives on the challenges and triumphs encountered throughout their research journeys, challenging prevailing narratives, giving visibility to current Black women in research, increasing awareness of disparities and challenges facing this group, empowering and encouraging future researchers, and amplifying the value of representation.
