Every scientist profile, institutional listing, and correction on AfroScience represents someone’s contribution. Here are the ways you can help expand and improve the record.

1
Suggest a Scientist Profile
Know a Black scientist — historical or contemporary — who isn’t yet in the AfroScience Encyclopedia? Submit their name, field, and any sources you have. Our editors will research and publish a verified profile.
