📢 The FUTURE(S) of science is here! 🥳 FUTURES, a new initiative from our @ncscifest, will provide science engagement, outreach and communication training for students, staff, and faculty at community colleges across the state.

#HiddenNoMore Dorothy Vaughan, @NASA Mathematician African American women overcame barriers of segregation to make important contributions to our understanding of flight. Vaughan was one of the first African Americans hired as a “computer” at Langley Research Center in 1943.

#HiddenNoMore Annie Easley, Rocket Scientist The first spacecraft to orbit Saturn was launched in 1997 by a Centaur rocket that Easley helped develop. First hired at @NASA as a mathematician, she worked to become an expert computer programmer and an authority on rocket engines.

#HiddenNoMore Christine Darden, Mechanical Engineer Darden is an #NC native, and the first African American woman to be awarded a doctorate of science in mechanical engineering. She spent her career at @NASA and was considered a leader in sonic boom research.

Morehead Planetarium & Science Center is committed to telling truthful stories and amplifying the voices of people who are often times hidden and purposely left out of discourse about contributions to our world.

Thanks to @NC_Governor this week is officially #NCMuseumWeek! 🎉 We’re proud to be a part of an incredible network of museums in North Carolina, especially during this unprecedented time. 💚 To celebrate, check out Morehead At Home: bit.ly/2ySisGp #MuseumFromHome
