Who’s Brea the Scientist? When nerd meets fun. I’m a chemical biologist, a fun fanatic, and most importantly, I’m a mental health advocate. Tune in every week for knowledge, fun, and advice from Black mental health professionals! instagram.com/reel/Ch7p2I5Mo…

Updated my site to include an “Ask a Scientist” section. This will give me a chance to explore diverse topics and spruce up with my science communication skills. 😊 shakyrarichardsonphd.com/ask…

Exciting to see metalloenzymes getting the attention they deserve! This might be the only time to see them outside a glovebox so get them while you can!! Donation to the American Cancer Society in honor of my grandmother Armar Jean. She is the reason all of this could happen!

Kids are soo embarrassing… there’s a family in this restaurant waiting patiently on their check. Their kid has been repeatedly yelling saying “I pooped I pooped” for a good 5 mins I wish y’all could see the embarrassment her parents faces.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but doing a PhD is work. It’s a job.

I post my accomplishments, because I remember how important it was for me to see Black women succeeding. I do this for aspiring scientists who look like me.

I pray that I always remain humble so I can be a mentor with patience and grace.

Dissertation writing is so weird because one day I can only manage to write two sentences while other days I’m knocking out two paragraphs in an hour.
