18 Alabamians Made the 1,000 Inspiring Black Scientists’ List As much as I love radio, I love science. It is so fascinating to me. The road to becoming a scientist, I’m sure, is not easy. It includes lots of dedication and hard work. Cell Mentor is “a new online resource from Cell Press and Cell Signaling Technology which empowers early-career researchers with career insights, publishing advice, and techniques on experimental processes and procedures.” I found it very interesting that Cell Mentor released their 1,000 Inspiring Black Scientist List at the end of 2020. I was excited to find out that eighteen of those slots belonged to amazing Alabamians. They believe that “now is the time to acknowledge each other, our talents, our accomplishments, and reclaim the knowledge that could have been lost.”
