Episode 264: Did you know there is something out there holding people back? It's called The Bamboo Ceiling and it affects people of Asian descent. My guest, Khánh Vũ, CEO of the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE), explains what it is, who it affects, and why we need to be aware of it. The Bamboo Ceiling can prevent your team members from achieving their potential and it can deprive them of opportunities to develop their leadership skills. Understanding culture and adopting different ways of interacting with your team can break down stereotypes and help your entire team overcome challenges. This is an insightful and fun conversation about breaking down barriers to understanding. How do you address The Bamboo Ceiling?

In which we discuss the entry of People of Color into chemistry, mostly in the USA. We start with the first Black to get an Ph.D. in Chemistry in the USA, St. Elmo Brady, and work forward through the 1940s through the 1960s. We discuss various organizations to assist people of color in chemistry (and other sciences), such as NOBCChE, SACNAS, AISES, and the Society for Asian Scientists and Engineers. We examine a similar problem in the United Kingdom which has no independent assistance organization for People of Colour.Support the Show.
