On Episode 16 of Black in Science, I sat down with Dr. Oliver H. Richmond III, who’s current work as a Research Technician at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) focuses on the relationship between non-muscle myosin II proteins and cancer development. During the interview, Dr. Richmond starts by recounting his childhood while growing up in Cleveland, Ohio before discussing his experience as an undergraduate student at Morehouse College in Atlanta. While explaining the research he did as a junior at Clark Atlanta University, Oliver describes how his position as a tech helped facilitate his admission into the university’s graduate program. After outlining the cancer research he did for his Ph.D in Biological Sciences, Dr. Richmond shares some powerful words of wisdom and guidance before disclosing the details of his journey towards a career in medicine. To conclude, Oliver divulges his feelings on the importance of prayer, self discovery and leveraging your network.
