Hi! My name is Alayah Solomon, and I’m a senior Biology student at North Carolina A&T State University. Welcome to "Phosphorylation Nation," a mini-series of Tomorrow’s Scientists Today. In this series, I’ll delve into fascinating topics in cell and molecular biology and explain their impacts on modern medicine and society.
