Physics that, I guess you would call it that spark in the eye, that asks questions that are fundamental to our entire existence, you don’t need to actually do any of the work, but just support that person because they will do all the work for you. And it turns out, I believe that we’re just not identifying those individuals and we’re not making the kind of effort that we need to do that. We believe, I certainly believe, that children are inherently interested, and inherently curious. And that’s all it takes. If we don’t beat that interest out of them, if we don’t say, you shouldn’t do this, you shouldn’t study physics, you should maybe study basketball or something, we could have as many scientists as we want. We could probably have more scientists than we could ever want. But we tend to make heroes and we tend to put things in a way that people believe that the best defi nition of success are the defi nitions that we see on TV and in the entertainment industry. And that’s not to denigrate the entertainment industry. I think it’s great for people to actually use and expose their talent and develop that talent. My history, as you’ve just heard in fact, comes from basically a signifi cant number of people over a very long number of decades that have said, “Oh, you want to study nuclear physics? You want to study nuclear engineering? You want to study accelerators? You want to study particle physics? You’re interested in a lot of things? Well, fi ne. We’ll help you.” And that’s, in my personal opinion, all it takes. Clip 7 - Refl ections on Legacy: I think I would like people to know, or to think that perhaps I was an innovator. That I didn’t do things the way everyone else did. That I was a trailblazer, basically. And I think when I look back, I really did pioneer a lot of things. I did some things that, from conducting orchestras to learning neutrino physics in a way that was special on some level, teaching students, creating lecture series, writing, being in movies, that the things that I did were somewhat pioneering and I would like that to be thought of as not only important, but also as being a reasonable way to pursue things, to make your contribution. Good citizen’s contribution sort of thing. My nieces, you know, always thought I was a fairly unusual person because I was different than most of the people that they interacted with as they grew up. And the whole concept of smashing atoms for a living makes you a little bit different than perhaps the people around you, but if you didn’t know I smashed atoms for a living, you might just think I was the regular guy who just sat down and watched the Bears game. 210
The HistoryMakers ® ScienceMakers YouTube Oral History Contest Guidelines, Rules and Tips Think you have what it takes to be a ScienceMaker? Show us! The ScienceMakers are African Americans who have made a signifi cant impact on the worldwide scientifi c community, whether as engineers, college biology professors, seismologists, research chemists, and more. We are looking for YouTube video submissions from students with two special requirements: a passion for science and a dream. The ScienceMakers YouTube Oral History Contest is free and open to any student in fi fth through twelfth grade at a full time U.S. public, private, or home school. Your video can either be an imaginary interview with yourself as a scientist in the future or an impersonation of a ScienceMaker from the ScienceMakers DVD, a two-part disc series included with the ScienceMakers DVD Toolkit. There are many possibilities for your video—maybe you’re a scientist recording this from Mars. How did you get there? Why did you go there? Maybe you are in the Amazon observing a rare bird species near extinction. Or maybe you are in a nuclear physics lab smashing atoms like ScienceMaker Herman White. Will you observe the sky and the climate like ScienceMaker Warren Washington? Or tell people around the world that an earthquake has occurred like ScienceMaker Waverly Person? You could even study cows, pigs, and other farm animals to sniff out diseases and stop epidemics such as swine fl u like ScienceMaker Sheila Grimes. How will you make your contribution to science? We welcome any type of future scientist—a physicist, a chemist, a biologist, an animal behaviorist, a surgeon…watch the ScienceMakers DVD for inspiration from real life African American scientists who have made critical discoveries in their fi elds, from singing birds to particles so small, you can’t even see them with a microscope. If you ever thought George Washington Carver was the only famous black scientist, our DVD will inspire and motivate you by showing you REAL LIFE stories about African Americans who weren’t afraid to work hard, take chances, and rise to the top of their careers while changing the world at the same time. Here’s how it works: Before you even think about making your video, check with your science teacher, after-school club leader, or educational leader about your video idea. With help from an adult, search the web for information about the fi eld you plan to explore in your video. Winning videos will teach the viewer something new about science and about the ScienceMaker. They will also have an aspect of oral history, describing the lives of the entrants or the scientists and the times in which the entrants or the scientists live. Identify a personally inspiring ScienceMaker from the collection. If you decide to impersonate a Science- Maker, you will need to: • Watch all the ScienceMaker’s clips on the ScienceMakers DVD. • What makes this ScienceMaker special? • What was his or her most important discovery? • Where is he or she from? • Who inspired the ScienceMaker to become a scientist? • What struggles did he or she face? How did the ScienceMaker survive those challenges? • What fi eld is the ScienceMaker in? What does he or she do every day at work? 211 YouTube Contest
