Myron Porter is a section manager in ORAU’s Technical Solutions Group. In his role, he is a software developer working as part of the team that maintains and supports U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science web applications for the National Science Bowl, the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) program and the Laboratory Equipment Donation Program (LDEP). Host Michael Holtz talked to Porter as part of a two-part series on the people making Black History at ORAU. Porter says he got hooked on technology when his family set up their first computer and used AOL to access the internet. When he hears the phrase, “I am Black History,” he is mindful of the blood, sweat and tears that Black people before him have shed so he can have the life he lives today. He says his success is because of past generations. Porter hopes that when people look back on his life, they will see how he helped advance work in the scientific arena and point to scientific breakthroughs that may have resulted because of the technology he helped support.
