In Rags to Thesis, we revisit with Dr. Alicia Volmar, a structural biologist and genetic genealogist. She is a previous guest from Episodes 4 and 5 Knocked Up or Knocked Out. In this episode, she shares how she overcame a childhood of abuse, neglect, and homelessness. Through her persistence and love of science, she achieved a Ph.D. in structural biology and built her family. She advocates and brings insight into the obstacles too many children and young adults face.
