I recently sat down with Dr. Patrycja Krakowiak on the show.

Originally from Poland, she made her way to the US 35 years ago, earning her Bachelor’s degree in chemistry with an emphasis in molecular biology. She then earned her Ph.D. in human genetics. 

She is a research scientist and has published dozens of articles and lectured around the country. 

She currently serves as a life science specialist at the Arkansas School for Math, Sciences, and the Arts (ASMSA), where she trains the next generation of young scientists and researchers. 

She  also co-directs the Arkansas Summer Research Institute (ASRI) and trains biology teachers from across the state as a co-director of the Advanced Biology Plus Program through ASMSA. 

Her story is powerful and inspiring. Don't miss this week's episode.
