Saint Elmo Brady (1884-1966)

Born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1884, Saint Elmo Brady became the first African American to earn a Ph.D. in the field of chemistry when he completed his graduate studies at the University of Illinois in 1916. The eldest child of Thomas and Celesta Brady, Saint Elmo had two younger sisters, Fedora and Buszeder. Brady studied chemistry at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee and earned his B.S. degree in 1908. After graduation he accepted a faculty position at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now known as Tuskegee University) and was mentored by George Washington Carver and Booker T. Washington, President of Tuskegee. He began graduate studies in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Illinois in 1912, earning his M.S. degree in 1914 and completing his doctorate in 1916. As a graduate student at Illinois, Brady’s research focused on the characterization of organic acids. Brady eventually published three abstracts focused on his graduate work in Science, a prestigious peer-reviewed journal. After completing his doctorate, Brady returned to Tuskegee and continued teaching until 1920. He also served as chair and faculty of the Department of Chemistry at Howard University and Fisk University. Regarding his scholarly achievements, Brady continued collaborative work with the University of Illinois and established a faculty training program focusing on a technique known as infrared spectroscopy, which is used to identify various components in compounds. Moreover, he later published an article focused on the synthesis of a halogen compound with Dr. Samuel Massie, the first African American to join the faculty at the U.S. Naval Academy. Brady's work was important because there was significant interest in halogen compounds being used as insecticides at that time. Samuel Massie, who went on to work on the Manhattan Project in World War II, was one of several students that Brady mentored while teaching at Fisk University, thus encouraging African Americans to pursue careers in the chemical sciences. Although Brady officially retired from teaching in 1952, he took a position at Tougaloo College outside Jackson, Mississippi to help develop the chemistry department and recruit faculty. Brady married Myrtle Travers and they had two sons, Robert and St. Elmo Brady, Jr. who worked as a physician. St. Elmo Brady died on Christmas Day in 1966 Washington, D.C. He was 82

UMich vs Fisk vs Denver meet notes:

-Fisk had a gymnast that landed on her head on the ground from bars and proceeded to still do beam :| Their final passes on floor make me terrified for their ankles :(

-Denver had it’s highest vault scores ever in program history

-Denver 197??!?!?!? Their staff was so nice after the meet and between rotations when they stopped by to chat :)

- UMich hits over 198 (not sure how I feel abt that with them peaking early last year 🫥)

-There was a huge crowd and line to take pictures and talk with the Fisk team after the meet :,)

This is your reminder:

Echo is a about Maya Lopez

Not Matt Murdock!!!!

Echo was Marvel's redemption.

It was a beautiful show from beginning till the end.

But no one will talk about it.

Just like no one talked about Ms. Marvel or Hawkeye.

People will still say post Endgame Marvel is going to hell.

Cause we have another woman hero amongst us.

Wilson Fisk is leaving out some crucial details here but real ones remember what the fuck really happened lmfao

Can we take a second to appreciate the fact that every single person in Maya’s family from home took the time to work and learn ASL to communicate with her.

Even today many deaf children born into hearing families have to struggle with communication because their families don’t learn to communicate in their language. Being isolated from conversations and that bonding element is a really big deal for many kids.

The first few minutes of Echo show that the adults in her life are trying to practice signing while she isn’t even around!!!

Then looking at her relationship with Fisk and how he communicates with her is so vastly different. He knew her for YEARS and saw her often enough to be “uncle” and to pick her up from school. Yet he still didn’t learn or use ANY sign until he was begging her for his life!

#anyways I think the way language is used in this show is beautiful #it tells a story that you can understand wuthout being obvious #ASL #maya lopez #echo marvel #marvel echo #mcu #echo #wilson fisk #fisk #marvel cinematic universe #marvel

Echo fucking rocks. Loved every episode.

A warning: If you’re watching it just for Daredevil you’re going to be incredibly disappointed. A feeling you will deserve seeing as this is Maya’s story. She’s amazing. Daredevil is getting 18 episodes. Watch Echo for Maya. It’s worth it.

While I'm thinking about it, the thing about Civil War is that it's an event that conceptually makes total sense as something that would eventually happen in the Marvel Comics universe as it had been depicted up until that point, particularly in the early oughts- the center obviously was not gonna hold. The hammer eventually coming down is inevitable, the tension between the wild cowboy soap opera antics of the superheroes and the government trying to reign them was well-established by 2007.

The problem is that once you pull the trigger on it, you can basically never go back. You can never plausibly have Iron Man or Mr. Fantastic or Captain Marvel return to a working relationship with any of the antireg people ever again after they spend a year and change running the extradimensional virtual reality gulag for all of their colleagues who wouldn't kiss the ring. A bunch of people died and a couple of the less popular ones even stayed dead. It's the kind of thing that happens in a bad future that you have to send Kitty Pryde back in time to prevent because it would so obviously be an irreparable annihilation of the status quo were it to happen in the main timeline. And yet, after a few greater-scope threats and a reconciliatory whimper, to the status quo we inevitably return. Comic Books Babey

#even funnier is when you consider that marvel universe time compression is inevitably going to crunch the first and second civil wars #into having happened within a couple of years of each other #genuine credit that they stuck with the SRA as the status quo for as long as they did though #thoughts #meta #hey does the Wilson Fisk as Mayor thing bring us up to four Superheroes are Illegal now arcs? #Five? #Marvel comics #civil war #marvel civil war

Totally possible this is just a me thing. But is there anyone else who can't not read Kingpin's dialogue in Roscoe Lee Browne's voice from Spiderman TAS? It's wormed its way into one of those iconic comic book VAs for me, gives him such menace and gravitas. Captain America #377
