During this episode of Black in Science, I sat down with the lovely and insightful Jasmine George, who’s currently a Ph.D Candidate at the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia. Throughout the interview, Jasmine briefly rehashes the details of her childhood while growing up a few miles from the ocean in Virginia Beach before covering her time as an undergraduate at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. After discussing her current thesis work in renal lipid metabolism in diabetes and obesity, Jasmine describes what ignited her passion for science policy and her newly established virtual HBCU Science Policy tour. To wrap things up, Jasmine shares a few tips on the importance of networking, self-belief and taking your time.
