Black and Brown in Physics
BBiP Arab-American + APIDA Heritage Month Event
Date: Friday, April 24th
Time: 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Place: Chamberlin 2135
Abstract: The Black and Brown in Physics (BBiP) student organization would like to invite you to our next Heritage Month Event (in honor of April being Arab American Heritage month, and May being Asian Pacific Islander Desi American Heritage / APIDA month) on Friday April 24th at 1 PM in Chamberlin 2135. This time we have the privilege of inviting Faizah Siddique (BBiP’s very own secretary!) to give a 20-minute talk about Bangladeshi history, culture, and heritage followed by some time for Q&As. In addition to the talk, we will also have a short presentation highlighting the contributions that Arab physicists have made to the scientific community. We will also spend some time toward the end to talk about our upcoming executive member elections and give folks some time to apply/self-nominate themselves for a BBiP executive position for the next 2026-27 academic year (if you are interested in doing so), and maybe also play a fun singing game!

We will be broadcasting the talk over Zoom (see below for link) for those unable to make it to the event in-person.

We will be catering lunch from Kanto Fiesta (Filipino food), and Taza (Mediterranean food). We kindly ask that if you are planning on attending the lunch in-person that you stay for the talks as well. Our speakers put a lot of thought and time into making their presentations, and it’s important that we honor that by attending both parts of the event.
