The video, produced with the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE), highlights the efforts of Isiah Warner, Ph.D., Boyd Professor at Louisiana State University, to mentor students in the sciences from middle school all the way through a Ph.D. It also features Isai Urasa, Ph.D. He has trained more than 300 students in Hampton University’s chemistry program, about 50 of whom have gone on to receive a Ph.D.
The video also features undergraduate students speaking about the people who got them interested in chemistry and their hopes for the future.
