On Episode 17 of Black in Science, I sat down with Dr. Monet Roberts, who’s currently a postdoctoral researcher focusing on brain cancer at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute To start things off, Dr. Roberts discusses her childhood while growing up in Newnan, Georgia before transitioning into her time as Biomedical Engineering major at Georgia Tech for undergrad. After outlining the research she did on the glycocalyx for her Ph.D. from Cornell’s Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering, Monet delves into both her short and long term goals for her personal life and career. To conclude, Dr. Roberts shares her feelings on the importance of acknowledging the debilitating effects of imposter syndrome and discussing how to overcome it, as well as finding your community and lifting as you climb.
