PEERing into Science
PEERing into Science is a podcast that highlights the stories and career journeys of PEER scientists. Now what's a PEER scientist? Well, PEER stands for People Excluded due to their Ethnicity or Race, and why would they have interesting journeys in science? Well, these professionals have carved a space for themselves in a system that was truly not built for them.

So let's PEER into science. New episodes out monthly!

Specifically, she studies how the cells that wrap our blood vessels in the brain change their messaging after a stroke to control the blood vessels’ size. To lear...
