In this episode of STEM Tea, AJ talks to Stanley Andrisse, Assistant Professor at Howard University (DC, USA) and Executive Director of the nonprofit From Prison Cells to PhD, whose mission is, "to reach, touch, and change the lives of individuals with disadvantaged backgrounds through advocacy, mentoring, and policy change."
Stanley's drive to help people from disadvantaged backgrounds and those who have been incarcerated transition into professional careers, is matched only by his passion for endocrinology research. Hear AJ and Stanley discuss his story, from his latest publication on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in black women, his work to understand the pathways that lead to insulin resistance, the intergenerational impact of incarceration and mentoring practices.
You can also get an insight into his recently published book, From Prison Cells to PhD: It is Never Too Late to Do Good, and find out how scientists and the general public can do more to support the people Stanley helps.
