The African American Heritage Trail is traveling across the Sound.
On Tuesday, Nov. 18, in partnership with the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole and Falmouth Public Schools, the trail will dedicate its 42nd site, and first site not located on Martha’s Vineyard, to Dr. James Townsel. The event begins at noon.
Dr. Townsel, who died in 2020, was a long-time scientist and mentor at MBL. He co-founded the summer program in Neuroscience, Excellence and Success, a course that provides students from under-represented backgrounds a path to be leaders in the neuroscience field. Throughout his life, he dedicated his knowledge and time to ensure that science was accessible to everyone, no matter their background.
