Episode description

Babatunde Ogunnaike, Ph.D., an award winning American Chemical Engineer of Nigerian descent, currently the William L. Friend Chaired Professor of Chemical Engineering and Bio-molecular Engineering at the University of Delaware, spoke on the intersectionality of engineering-sociology-humanity-and cultural anthropology. He affirmed the true story of one woman and the automobile airbag was not a box to be checked, just as the Black race are humans of significant worth.

"Not having women in engineering, not having Black people in engineering, literally it's like going through life with one eye closed. And I typically tell people sitting in the audience - I tell them to close one eye and look at the world and tell me what the world looks like to you. You lose depth of perception. And so when half of your team is sitting on the side lines, and you are only playing with five people on the field..." - Prof. Babatunde Ogunnaike
