Leighton Duncan, Jamaica-born neuroscientist.
Jamaica-born Neuroscientist Leighton Duncan loves spending time inside the laboratory at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine where he currently works, but the reality that there are not too many West Indians there in his field is a real concern.
So far, he has come across one other person from Trinidad and Tobago and gradually, he has come to realise that Caribbean students do not seem to gravitate as much to the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.
“If you come from an under-represented background, you will have a totally different thinking of who you are in that field, and it makes things really hard not being able to see people who look like you,” he said.

As COVID-19 cases surge across the country, school and district leaders are looking for clear and consistent guidance on the safest ways to reopen school facilities while minimizing infection risk for students, teachers, and staff in K-12 schools.
In response to that demand, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and the Consortium for School-Based Health Solutions, with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies, have launched a series of online educational modules that aim to help school and district leaders plan for and implement in-person instruction when they deem it safe and appropriate to do so. These modules will also help schools and districts that are already open assess their current COVID-19 prevention strategies.
