2023 Royal Astronomical Society Annie Maunder Medal

In honor of Black History month, we’re highlighting Dr. Ronald Gamble from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. Dr. Gamble is an integral part of the Black in Astro team awarded the Royal Astronomical Society’s Annie Maunder Medal for 2023. Black in Astro “is a grassroots organization and community that focuses on inspiring, developing, and enriching Black space scientists.” Dr. Gamble’s work with Black in Astro “brings together outreach and community empowerment, beyond a model of recruitment: communicating astronomy to the public, diversifying early career researcher cohorts, and building a true community.” For more information about the Black in Astro’s achievements, please see the feature: Annie Maunder Medal Black in Astro 2023 [PDF]
