Kenna Gloria Agbugba is a winner of the fifth annual Rising Black Scientists Awards for a scholar in the physical, data, earth, and environmental sciences. We asked emerging Black scientists to tell us about their scientific vision and goals, the experiences that sparked their interest in science, how they want to contribute to a more inclusive scientific community, and how these all fit together on their journey. This is her story.

2022-12-30·The Future of Black Leadership in Higher Education

The Faculty Senate Leadership Perspective

作者: Sain, Lloyd

The chapter discusses how the author's environmental setting served as a pivotal backdrop for how education became an influential segway to public education and eventually higher education as a second career. Discussions include how the role of Faculty Senate Presidency is experienced at a private Black college and faculty's perspective on what it means to be a Black leader. Implications are addressed along with how leaders can navigate these leadership challenges. The chapter outlines ideas that will move the needle for Black leaders in higher education and identifies the support and needed resources that institutions will need to create the conditions to prepare students for a diverse world. The author addresses the role of the supervisor for Black leaders and offers practical ideas on how supervision is an integral part of the Black leader's development, support, and success. The author concludes with questions that invite discussion and research on how we can reimagine higher education.

Finite temperature contributions to cosmological constant

作者: Park, I. Y.

We reexamine the cosmological constant (CC) problem in a finite temperature setup and propose an intriguing possibility of carrying out perturbative analysis by employing a renormalization scheme in which the renormalized Higgs mass (or resummed mass, to be more precise) is taken to be on the order of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature. Our proposal hinges on the fact that although the physical value of the CC does not depend on one’s renormalization scheme, whether or not a fine tuning is involved does. The CC problem is avoided in the sense that the renormalization process no longer requires finetuning. This is achieved essentially by renormalization scheme-independence of a physical quantity, which in turn is assured by bare perturbation theory. The proposal shifts the CC problem to a peculiarity of the consequent perturbation series for the Higgs mass (and other massive sectors of the Standard Model); the peculiarity is interpreted as an indicator of new physics after the expected mathematical structure of the series is scrutinized. Finite-temperature-induced complexification of the effective potential is observed and its interpretation is given. A consistency check in the cosmology context is suggested.
