Question: Professor Donna Nelson served as a science advisor to an AMC tv show created by who?

The Nelson Diversity Surveys (NDS) are a collection of data sets that quantify the representation of women and minorities among professors, by science and engineering discipline, at research universities.  They consist of four data sets compiled by Dr. Donna Nelson, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Oklahoma during fiscal years (FY) 2002, 2005, 2007, and 2012.  These surveys were each complete populations, rather than samples.  Consequently, the Surveys quantified characteristics of the faculty which had never been revealed previously, drawing great attention from women and minorities.  Furthermore, the Surveys initially came at a time when these underrepresented groups were becoming concerned and vocal about perceived inequities in academia.  At the time the Surveys were initiated, (1) the MIT Study of 1999, expressing the concerns of women scientists (including Nancy Hopkins), had just been issued, and (2) underrepresented minority (URM) science faculty noticed URM students increase among PhD recipients without a corresponding increase among recently hired professors.  Because the NDS were complete populations, which disaggregated faculty by race, by rank, by gender, and by discipline, URM faculty had the documentation to support their concerns. <SEP>  Nelson also served as a science advisor to the AMC television show "Breaking Bad." Dr. Donna J. Nelson is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Oklahoma.  Nelson specializes in organic chemistry, which she both researches and teaches.  Nelson's career has focused on five primary topics of research generally categorized in two areas, "Scientific Research" and "America's Scientific Readiness".  Within Scientific Research, Nelson's topics have been on mechanistic patterns in alkene addition reactions and on Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) functionalization and analysis, yielding the first COSY NMR spectrum of covalently functionalized SWCNTs in solution.  Under America's Scientific Readiness, she focuses on science education, which includes classroom innovations and correcting organic chemistry textbook inaccuracies, on ethnic and gender diversity (the Nelson Diversity Surveys) among highly ranked science departments of research universities, and on improving the image and presentation of science and scientists to the public.  She was the 2016 President of the American Chemical Society (ACS). <SEP> The Science Advisor to the President is an individual charged with providing advisory opinions and analysis on science and technology matters to the President of the United States.  The first Science Advisor, Vannevar Bush, chairman of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, served Presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman from 1941 to 1951.  President Truman created the President's Science Advisory Committee in 1951, establishing the chairman of this committee as the President's Science Advisor.  This committee continued under Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Richard M. Nixon until 1973.  Nixon terminated the committee rather than appointing a replacement for his advisor who had resigned.  The US Congress established the Office of Science and Technology Policy in 1976, re-establishing Presidential Science Advisors to the present day. <SEP>  The show originally aired on the AMC network for five seasons, from January 20, 2008 to September 29, 2013.  It tells the story of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a struggling high school chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer.  Together with his former student Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), White turns to a life of crime by producing and selling crystallized methamphetamine to secure his family's financial future before he dies, while navigating the dangers of the criminal world.  The title comes from the Southern colloquialism "breaking bad", meaning to "raise hell" or turn toward crime. Breaking Bad is an American neo-western crime drama television series created and produced by Vince Gilligan.  "Breaking Bad" is set and was filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
