What motivates you to do science?
Science is always evolving. It provides the groundwork to continuously improve well-being and the quality of health care. Science is an excellent platform to cultivate a culture and community of innovation and idea sharing.
What does Black History Month mean to you?
Even though it’s celebrated for one month, it’s in constant action 365 days a year! Having the opportunity for all to understand the profound impact that Black people have had in history should be acknowledged, respected, and appreciated.
