Description

Throughout the month of December, we are publishing a series of three podcasts produced by our sister podcast, Escape Velocity. Escape Velocity aims to capture the intersection of race, academia, and STEM, and is brought to you by the Viterbi Vice Dean of Diversity and Strategic Initiatives, Dr. Brandi Jones, and Daniel Druhora. This first episode features the stories of the USC Viterbi Vice Dean of Faculty Affairs, Dr. Timothy Pinkston, who is also the George Pfleger Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Prof. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Prof. Stacey Finley, who is the Director of the Center for Computational Modeling of Cancer and the Gordon S. Marshall Early Career Chair and Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Biological Sciences. Thank you so much to the Escape Velocity team for sharing this important conversation with us.
