Keynote Speaker
“I am grateful for the opportunity to speak to AIP and the future scientists of America. My journey in science began as a 17 year old quite nerdy young scientist nurtured by curiosity passed down from my father , a scientist, educator and Tuskegee Airman. Hopefully my story will provide hope, confidence and inspiration -- and help lead you on a path to success.”
