What's /sci/ opinion on carver?

Any agronomist here who can explain what he archieved?

Also black scientist admiration thread.

Bad prediction. /sci/ has an even mix of edgy /pol/ kids and more liberal types. This could last a while.
Don't know much about him but from what I've gathered he did do legit science work in researching more efficient agriculture and was a bit of a "black science man" by spreading the word to the layman. Nothing wrong with this, actually getting the nation to follow your ideas is a colossal achievement if you think about it. How many times do scientists talk about governments and the public ignoring their advice because of politics or just plain ignorance?

>>	Anonymous Thu Sep 3 18:19:43 2015 No.7507912 >>7507900 Nah they would because of his advocacy work, that is mainly what he's famous for. He was famous during his time, even the president was a fan, it's not like he was some obscure scientist dug up 50 years later by black rights groups.

...but still, nobody today would know his name. There were lots of people who did similar work and have been forgotten. Even during his own life, a large part of his notoriety derived from his race, from being someone to hold up as an example of the educability of the negro.

They've had to exaggerate him quite a bit to make his story seem worth telling. Especially "He invented peanut butter!" (of course, he didn't).

Well that would imply that having a high IQ increases your chances of being mathematician. Part of what make IQ tests valid is the time it takes to solve a specific problem. However in the real world mathematicians don't have a time limit.

There's actually been a lot of black mathematicians, it's not a hard field to get into, however most blacks don't pursue that field.

Honestly if you told the kids in the ghettos that science and technology were the way to go career wise, i'm sure there'd be a lot more.

This. You guys have to realize anything hinting at race is just a reason for stormfags to flutter in threads and push their shit. Real science is color blind, men of all creeds and colors are allowed to study. One of the reasons America is so great to begin with.

I hate this modern trend of making science about personalities.

I'm a britfag and we have a science documentary series called Horizon. Every time I see it now, some weedy scientist is pretending to be athletic and charismatic, as if this matters. It's the same with popular science books as well.
