      I do not believe there are enough black scientists and this will not get any better if young, bright, black students choose not to study science.

      This may also be a circular problem as young, bright, black students do not choose to study science because there are not enough black scientists that can act as mentors and role models.

      Are you a black student? Do you think having a small disproportion of black scientists is an issue?
