In this episode, I invite you to meet my mentor and friend, Kornelius Bankston, a fellow chemistry alumnus from Morehouse College. We explore the genesis of our unique bond, marked by the many intersections in our educational and career journeys. From rejections that turned into blessings to the trials and tribulations of pursuing PhDs, we take a walk down memory lanes, illuminating the remarkable similarities in our stories. Join me for an engaging conversation that reflects on our shared journey in the world of science and tech and discover Kornelius's mission as the owner of TECHPLUG, where he addresses health disparities and tech accessibility for vulnerable populations. Child, let's get into it!
