On Episode 22 of Black in Science, I spoke with Dr. Alexandra Lacey who’s currently working as a toxicologist for the global energy company, Shell. To open, Dr. Lacey discusses her childhood while growing up in the Detroit metropolitan area before segueing into her time in undergrad as a Biology major at Lake Forest College. After sharing her experience while pursuing her Ph.D. at Texas A&M’s School of Toxicology, Dr. Lacey discusses the details of her current regulatory position and her motives for establishing the Black in Toxicology group on Twitter. Before closing things out, Dr. Lacey discloses her feelings on the importance of following your passion, guarding your mental health and being flexible when it comes to your future plans.
