The goal of the podcast is to celebrate the achievements of people of color in STEM and highlight the diversity of different fields in science. My name is Calvin Henaku, I also go by Barry, I am a rising senior at Washington University in St. Louis. This project is partially funded by the Gephardt Institute under the Civic Scholars Program and a part of an ongoing effort of mine to become more civically engaged as I enter academia. In this podcast, we interview undergraduates, graduate students, and professors as well as institutions and organizations dedicated to increasing representation in STEM. It’s been a wonderful experience connecting to other people through the podcast, and I hope that if anyone’s stories stick out to you, you’ll feel comfortable to reach out and connect with them as well. Seeing the incredible things that people have been doing never ceases to amaze me, and hopefully one day, I can be a part of that. Anyway, thank you for listening to the podcast and I hope you enjoy.
