Elmer Imes

You’re Elmer Imes! You’re a successful academic but you also appreciate the importance of celebrating culture and the arts. You enjoy a night of music with close friends as much as you love experimentally proving groundbreaking quantum theories.

Experimental spectroscoper Elmer Imes was the second African American to earn a doctorate in physics. He worked in spectroscopy and quantum mechanics, was involved in New York City’s Harlem Renaissance, and later went on to establish Fisk University’s Physics Department.
