The mission

We provide a platform that highlights the work and life of minority scientists.

The goal of this series is to demystify the idea of who scientist are and what their day-to-day life looks like. We want to tell the unique stories of individuals. While mostly geared towards students considering a career in scientific research, we also hope to engage and inform the public about various topics.

The logo represents the interconnectedness of life and work as a scientist. We tap into our creative side to bring our ideas to light. It represents that we are more than our CV.

I am the host and creator of Edges & Nodes. Currently, I am doing my postdoctoral work at MIT. I started this series as a way to increase visibility of the amazing scientists I work with everyday, but also to show our humanity. Yes, we all love our work, but we have multifaceted interests that deserve to be seen. As we strive for better diversity and inclusion in science, we should make sure that we support each other get to our next adventures.
