Research around the world is figuring out how to regrow teeth. The team in Japan specifically hopes within the next 5 years, we'll be able to regrow teeth by reactivating the ability. #sciencenews #science #dental #bioengineering #scienceinthenews #regenerativemedicine #teeth

A sneak peek of some of what I've been up to lately. I was interviewed for a magazine article that will go live soon.

Mood when you're a black scientist and you're watching scientific societies and organizations say things like science isn't political and watching them preemptively bend the knee to this current admins efforts to destroy science. #blackscientist #blackengineer #blackinstem #science #stem #engineer

This graph is something I think about often. When I tell people about grad school, I try to be as honest as possible because it is one of the most difficult things you can put yourself through mentally.

Increasing alcohol consumption puts you at higher risk for developing cancers. Over 700,000 cancers cases were attributed to alcohol in 2020.

Increasing alcohol consumption puts you at higher risk for developing cancers. Over 700,000 cancers cases were attributed to alcohol in 2020.
Four mechanisms have been identified as ways that alcohol causes cancer: (1)alcohol is broken down into acetaldehyde which is a carcinogen. (2)Reactive oxygen species damage molecules in our cells. (3)Alters levels of some hormones) (4)Alcohol allows other carcinogens to be more easily absorbed

Research has directly linked increased alcohol consumption to 7 types of cancer including breast, colorectal, esophageal,and several throat and mouth cancers

Helldivers 2, this weekend was crazy! Everyone was scrambling, trying to figure out what worked and didn't against the illuminate. I'm excited to see what the new major order brings. #helldivers2 #videogames #gaming #blerd #blackgamer #pcgaming

9 orders of magnitude is the difference in size between a person & a nanoparticle. It's about the same difference between a person & the diameter of the sun. It blows my mind when I think about how small, the smallest man-made objects are. #science #sciencefact #STEM #scicomm #nanotech #quantumdot
