Hear AJ and Stanley discuss his story, from his latest publication on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in black women, his work to understand the pathways that lead to insulin resistance, the intergenerational impact of incarceration and mentoring practices.You can also get an insight into his recently published book, From Prison Cells to PhD: It is Never Too Late to Do Good, and find out how scientists and the general public can do more to support the people Stanley helps.Contents:Introduction: 00:00-01:35Introducing STEMTea guest, Stanley Andrisse: 1:33-03:05Understanding mechanisms of insulin resistance: 03:05-05:20PCOS and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in Black women: 05:20-07:05Good mentoring practices and inspirations: 07:05-09:40Examples of mentoring improving critical thinking and relationships with failure: 09:40-11:30Developing a mentoring relationship: 11:30-16:30Life experiences that improve mentoring capabilities: 16:30-21:50The Endocrine Society and two recent publications: 22:45-28:50Pell Grants and their inaccessibility to the incarcerated: 28:50-34:00NSF grant and STEM Ops: 34:00-38:15Incarceration, higher education, family structure and intergenerational impacts of both: 38:15-44:20The 1619 Project by Nikole Hannah-Jones and From Prison Cells to PhD by Stanley Andrisse 44:20-49:30Takeaways and conclusions 49:30-51:30Ways scientists can support From Prison Cell to PhD 51:30-52:25What’s the tea? 52:25-54:47 Hosted on Acast.
