b"In GBA 301 we get better acquainted with Dr Nira Chamberlain. He talks about the history of black mathematicians, his personal journey from being a child told by his careers adviser that he couldn't be a mathematician to getting a PHD in maths and becoming the first black mathematician to be included in the Who's Who, how the women from Hidden Figures could have been his role-models, the real world maths of mathematical modelling and so much more.\\n\\nI sat down with Nira in a quiet room at University of Greenwich where he was giving a talk. We met each other for the first time at a Spark London fundraiser for the Steve Sinnott Foundation.\\n\\nContent note: Racism, slavery \\n\\nNira plugs:\\n\\nSuccess Looks Like You: Saturday 29th July: 1pm-4pm https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/success-looks-like-me-tickets-34548932788\\n@ch_nira: https://twitter.com/ch_nira\\nHis website: http://nirachamberlain.com/\\nBlack Heroes of Mathematics: http://www.mathscareers.org.uk/article/black-heroes-mathematics/\\nhttp://nirachamberlain.com/the-black-heroes-of-mathematics/\\n\\nWe mention:\\n\\nSteve Sinnott Foundation: www.stevesinnottfoundation.org.uk/\\nSpark London: http://stories.co.uk/\\nNira on Spark: https://www.acast.com/sparklondon/notaboxer-nira\\nGreenwich University: http://www2.gre.ac.uk/\\nBabcock International Group: https://www.babcockinternational.com/\\nRonaldo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristiano_Ronaldo\\nMessi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionel_Messi\\nScience Council: http://sciencecouncil.org\\nWho's Who: http://www.ukwhoswho.com/\\nProfessor Phakeng: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamokgethi_Setati\\nBlack History Month: http://www.blackhistorymonth.org.uk/\\nBlack Heroes Of Mathematics: http://nirachamberlain.com/the-black-heroes-of-mathematics/\\nHidden Figures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_Figures\\nThomas Jefferson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson\\nTarget Oxbridge: http://www.targetoxbridge.co.uk/\\nAston Villa: https://www.avfc.co.uk/\\nJFK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy\\nEuler: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonhard_Euler\\nPaul Erdos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Erd%C5%91s\\nThomas Fuller 1710 - 1790, Slave and Mathematician\\n\\nHelp more people get better acquainted.
