Mastermind: Lawrence McKinney

In this week’s episode, we’re joined by one of our very own co-hosts, Lawrence McKinney. He’s currently finishing his PhD in Biomedical Sciences at Morehouse School of Medicine and is a native of Rivera Beach, FL. We chose this opportunity share a little bit more about our team and our journey on this road of science to date. Lawrence discusses everything from how his Thanksgiving break was to networking, future goals, and the obstacles he’s overcome to get here today. We were able to get a glimpse of his unique perspective on public health and basic science since he has expertise in both. Lawrence discusses how teamwork and leadership are skills that translate well into work in academic research. He acknowledges his faith as the major contributor in keeping him grounded throughout his journey in science and in life. Lawrence reminds us of all that on the road to achieving your goals you will face and overcome obstacles. He wants us to know that “knowing that you’ve done it before[overcoming obstacles], is confirmation that you can do it again”.
