History-Making Scientists

Welcome!

ColorMePhD is excited to feature History-Making Scientists who inspire us. Throughout history, the contributions of many Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, math, and medicine) have been overlooked. We would like to begin to recognize the work of these brilliant individuals with this series of free coloring pages. 

This resource is a work in progress: If you would like to nominate someone to be featured, please send an email to julie@colormephd.org with your name, full name of scientist you would like us to feature, and why this scientist inspires you. Please use the subject line "History-Making Scientist Nomination" for your email. Thank you!
