Beta readers wanted… grief-literate, myth-ready.
DM or drop an 🐜.

A smiling black man stands there with his arms folded. He has an afro. He is standing in the artium of a building on one of the higher floors.

Hey y'all! I'm Dr.Craig. I'm a Postdoc and science communicator at UIUC. My PhD is in bioengineering with a focus in cancer nanotechnology. Now I create scicomm and educational content related to cancer. #BlackScientist #BlackEngineer #SciComm #bioengineer #blackinSTEM #Scientist #Engineer #STEM

I was so happy to help at the National Society For Black Engineers. I love seeing some many #blackscientist it makes my heart happy #blacksky #blackskyover30

We need more of us and representation matter!
