Black Panther: Pull Up To The Bench

For The Culture Podcast

In today’s episode, we’re joined by the multitalented and resilient Dr. Dominique Stephens. Listen as he shares his journey in science. The path to his current post doc at the University of Texas, in Austin wasn’t an easy one for sure, but the lessons learned through the challenges faced in academia provided a unique lens that strengthened his resolve to succeed in science. These experiences translate to his mentorship to young Black and Brown scientists to show them that science can be their thing too. He’s a firm believer in being real with students and not allowing them to be disillusioned about the research and academic enterprise. Dr. Stephen’s currently focuses on studying the immune and inflammatory response during viral cell stress and how to modulate that response. Tune in as we talk about combing different disciplines of science, creating a space for scientists who also lift and love working out, music, and many more topics.
