As far back as he can remember, he has always wanted to be a medical doctor, but he never pursued that career from the belief that he would never be smart enough to make it, and not even having the courage to try. Science, on the other hand, was a field Anthony has always excelled in he never paid any attention to it from receiving awards to problem-solving and researching with ease. Anthony's father would tell him everything is mathematics and science, so it became literal for him.   Anthony enrolled at Sanford Brown College as a Medical Assistant hoping to work in a hospital first and network, but he switched to Massage Therapy to chase money. That’s was when he fell in love with the human body and the amazing machinations of it. With the thought of anatomy in his mind once again after opening and closing his own massage parlor, Anthony decided to once again pursue a career as a medical doctor, but another detour sparked his attention. The journey began with him realizing that neither was enough and that he wanted to do more.  While enrolled at Georgia Perimeter College in 2014, only a two-year college, Anthony was ready to shift to the next phase at a four-year institution, but he stumbled upon a program he saw at Atlanta Technical College called "Bioscience Technology". He completed a certificate as an Environmental Lab Tech, working on the second in Regulatory Compliance and then his associates! Anthony is also interning at Georgia Institute of Technology doing graduate level research. His plan is to attend Ga Tech for Biomedical Engineering, then apply to a Medical school with eyes on Morehouse School of Medicine for their M.D./Ph.D. program!   01:13:00Original Man Scientificnoscience,bio-science,environmental,lab tech,gatechJoin us this Saturday, March 10th at 6pm EST as we talk with Anthony F.

Born in Central Islip, New York, Sabria moved with her family to Marietta, Georgia when she was only four and is now based in the Atlanta area. Sabria’s STEM interests grew when she attended MCAA for her 4th and 5th grade of elementary school. When the public school system became overly distracting and a negative environment for Sabria, her mother pulled her out and returned her to homeschooling. At age 11, Sabria’s mother signed her up for an online homeschool program called Georgia Virtual School (GaVS), where she began taking high school level courses. Once she excelled in classes for the first tryout semester, Sabria continued attending this program until spring of 2016. That very fall, she began college as a MOWR student at Gwinnett Tech. In addition to attending her undergraduate program, Sabria has been shadowing doctors at the American Clinics for Preventive Medicine (ACPM) since October of last year, gaining immense insight and hands-on experience of doctors’ day-to-day responsibilities. Sabria has also been an avid staff member of Black-founded agriculture initiative, B.A.S.E. Expo, since December 2013. These opportunities are truly significant to her, being that she loves to help others by lending her support, healing, and creating smiles. Sabria’s ultimate goal is to help end human suffering, promote longevity, and inspire peace by actively pursuing and applying bio-scientific and agricultural technologies. In the near future, Ms. Lataillade seeks to continue her undergraduate program at Georgia State University and begin her studies of Food & Nutritional Sciences at Tuskegee University. 01:24:00Original Man Scientificnobioscience,technology,gwinnett tech,agriculture,nutritionSabria Lataillade, 17, is a STEM major currently pursuing her Associate’s Degree in Bioscience Technology at Gwinnett Technical College!

She started her dance training at age 7 with the Doris Jordan School of Dance on the south side of Chicago and continued to develop her dance training by taking classes with Joseph Holmes, Lou Conte Dance Studios, Homer Bryant, Deeply Rooted Dance, and Joel Hall Dance Center.  She is currently a First Company Dance Member with the Joel Hall Dancers and is seeking certification in the Katherine Dunham Dance Technique.   Luewilla is also a mother of three, a STEM Educator, and the Co-founder of Zenith Dance Company, Inc. in Chicago, through which she has taught dance for several after-school programs, including Muhammad University of Islam’s After School Arts Program. While working as an educator and professional dancer, Luewilla recognized the many connections between the art of dance and math/science concepts and decided to use dance as a tool to increase awareness, knowledge, and passion for learning math and science. In 1996, Luewilla won a Chicago Foundation for Education Small Grant to implement her “Building Better Ballet Bodies Program” (BBB). Through this short-term program, she taught students, math, science, and health concepts through the use of ballet dance technique. Subsequent to this program, Luewilla was nominated and awarded the “Talented Teacher Award.” Recently, in 2016, Luewilla decided to resurrect and revise the BBB program, now calling it “STEMulating Dance.” STEM being the acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, STEMulating Dance is a program to help “STEMulate” the mind, enhance innovative thinking and increase motivation for learning math and science through the engagement of various dance techniques.  01:58:00Original Man ScientificnoSTEM Teacher,dance,Zenith Dance Company,Arts & SciencesLuewilla X (Smith-Barnett) has had a passion for dance since childhood.

She came into OSU having a specific plan on what she wanted to do: Nursing. During her freshman year, she ran into a couple of obstacles in which lead her to change my major from a Bachelor’s of  Science in Nursing (BSN) to a Bachelor’s of Science in Health Sciences with a minor in Clinical Psychology. This was a drastic transition for Selena because she had always planned to get her BSN and go to graduate school to become a nurse practitioner. Prior to her switching majors, she decided to take the initiative to take advantage of the opportunities given on campus. Selena came across many research positions she could apply for as a freshman in college. While researching what type of research position she wanted to apply for, she came across a study on pregnant women. Once Selena applied, she was given an interview that following week and got accepted for the position with no problems. She was quite excited to be going into research. This was something she had always been taught or heard of people doing it, so to actually be a part of the research team is something she was glad to officially be a part of. When she first started working in the lab, they were doing research on pregnant women, looking at the links between the psychological (life stressors, mood, social support, etc.) and physical affects the influenza vaccine (flu shot) has on both the mother and the newborn.       01:18:00Original Man Scientificnomedicine,psychology,research,pregnancy,vaccinesJoin us Sunday, September 24th, at 6 pm EST as we speak with a young researcher who is concerned with the health of expecting mothers!422dac47-28ee-45c1-90c2-a30954b198ec25fullhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/omsstemfiles/2017/09/17/season-2-episode-4-the-mathematics-of-a-new-worldSciencehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/omsstemfiles/2017/09/17/season-2-episode-4-the-mathematics-of-a-new-world/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/omsstemfiles/2017/09/17/season-2-episode-4-the-mathematics-of-a-new-worldSun, 17 Sep 2017 22:00:00 GMTSeason 2, Episode 4; The Mathematics of A New WorldMr. Muhammad is currently a full-time mathematics professor at Malcolm X College.

In 2002, he discovered the presence of a degenerative disease in the brain of former pro football player Mike Webster, naming the condition chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). His efforts to raise awareness of CTE were rebuffed by the NFL, although mounting evidence eventually forced the league to make concessions. Omalu's work was dramatized in the 2015 film Concussion, with actor Will Smith portraying the Nigerian-born doctor.  The sixth of seven children of a civil engineer and a seamstress, Omalu was a shy but gifted student with a fertile imagination. He was admitted to the Federal Government College in Enugu at age 12 and dreamed of being an airline pilot. However, at age 15 he began medical school at the University of Nigeria.  After earning his degree in 1990, Omalu interned at Jos University Hospital, before being accepted to a visiting scholar program at the University of Washington in 1994. He then served his residency at Harlem Hospital Center, where he developed his interest in pathology.  In 1999, Omalu moved to Pittsburgh to train under noted pathologist Cyril Wecht at the Allegheny County Coroner's Office. He continued his education at the University of Pittsburgh, completing a fellowship in neuropathology in 2002 and a master's in public health and epidemiology in 2004.  02:01:00Original Man Scientificnomedicine,concussion,NFL,CTE,pathologyJoin us, Sunday August 13th, as we get to know, Dr. Bennet Omalu, world renowned forensic neuropathologist who discovered one of the most controversial diseaseshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/omsstemfiles/2017/07/30/season-2-episode-1-how-a-community-shapes-the-genomeSciencehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/omsstemfiles/2017/07/30/season-2-episode-1-how-a-community-shapes-the-genome/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/omsstemfiles/2017/07/30/season-2-episode-1-how-a-community-shapes-the-genomeSun, 30 Jul 2017 22:00:00 GMTSeason 2, Episode 1: How a Community Shapes the GenomeDr. Jabril Muhammad was born and raised in Baltimore city, Maryland.

In his final year of high school, he applied to Tuskegee University at the request of his parents, but he made his final decision to go to Tuskegee after attending a believers meeting, where the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan announced that the Holy Day of Atonement 2013 event would be held in Tuskegee, Alabama. While the school was already appealing to him because it's rich history, the great scientific and cultural contributions to the world, as well as a great engineering program, the Minister's words let him know that Tuskegee was the right choice for him, and went into Tuskegee University in the fall of 2014. Jabari figured he could do more for his nation and the world this way. At first, Jabari would major in aerospace engineering, but saw this leading to military applications for the most part. The main influence in his decision to become an electrical engineering major was a man named Nikolai Tesla, who invented many different electrical devices like the induction motor, as well as discovering   inductive coupling, and what would eventually become wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi). On campus, he is the VP of the Nation of Islam Student Association (NOISA), and also a member of the Black Board Deliberative Dialogue Group (BBDDG), an organization made up of students and residents, that work together to plan and develop different projects for the city, mostly aimed at improving the local economy and investing in real estate.

Before Girls Who Code, she thought computer science was going to be hard and confusing, but after studying programs like Scratch and Codesters and being surrounded by the company of my women in technology friends, she could be happy with learning the basics of CS like HTML and CSS before learning it in a college classroom. The organization presented Khalliday with opportunities of doing research, designing, and helping recruit more members like myself. After Girls Who Code, I wanted to join more STEM clubs at my school like the YEEA Club (Youth Empowerment for Environmental Awareness) and the Carver High School Robotics Team. After being inspired, she was given the opportunity to intern at Georgia Tech as a Computer Science Student Assistant under a Georgia Tech professor she met while attending a WIT meeting! As of today, Khalliday is the Alumni Liaison for Girls Who Code. Her first year at Girls Who Code was amazing as far as helping to find her passion learning new computer science concepts. As the Alumni Liaison, she recruited 10th and 11th grade girls for our 2016 Girls Who Code Summer Immersion Program. This 7-week program will show young girls the many advantages of computer science in various occupations. Even before her promotion, Khalliday found a way to get involved in inspiring young people into STEM. After her first year in Girls Who Code, she was selected to be the representative for the club at the 2015 American Educational Research Association in Chicago, Illinois. Our job was to find the cause of gender and minority gaps in STEM fields and methods of closing these gaps. After a month of this research, they presented their findings to prestigious researchers, high school students, and the former AERA president, Joyce E. King.   01:08:00Original Man Scientificnowomen in tech,STEM,Mercer University,codingThis Saturday, join us as we get to know one of young women in technology, Khalliday Muhammad!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/omsstemfiles/2017/03/11/season-1-episode-12-your-first-doctorSciencehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/omsstemfiles/2017/03/11/season-1-episode-12-your-first-doctor/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/omsstemfiles/2017/03/11/season-1-episode-12-your-first-doctorSat, 11 Mar 2017 22:00:00 GMTSeason 1: Episode 12; Your First Doctor One word could be used to describe Dr. Mayyada Muhammad….resilient. The daughter of two hardworking believers in the Nation of Islam, sis. Sandra and Bro. Sylvester Muhammad; The value of family and nation building was instilled in her at an early age. Mayyada always knew Allah would use her to serve her nation but she never could have imagined where his road would lead her. At the age of nine her mother was diagnosed with Lupus and scleroderma which piqued her interest in medicine and ultimately lead Mayyada to pursue a career in medicine. While studying Forensic science at Albany State University, she learned about the Cuban Medical Scholarship program after reading an article in the Final Call Newspaper. Mayyada saw this as the perfect opportunity to study medicine, live abroad, and learn a second language. By Allah's grace, Mayyada was accepted into the Latin American School of Medicine where she would receive an excellent medical education but more importantly acquire the skills required to address the biological, psychological, and social determinants of health. Mayyada began her studies in March of 2006. Dr. Mayyada graduated from Medical school in July of 2013 and is currently completing her Residency training at Morehouse School of Medicine for Family Medicine. She is a wife, mother, and community advocate. Dr. Mayyada is a member of several associations including The National Medical Association, Doctors for Global Health, and the American College of Preventive Medicine. She believes everyone has the right to quality healthcare and education. Mayyada serves on the executive board of the CDC Vaccine Justice or Else Movement and is working diligently to educate the community on vaccine injuries. In the future she wants to work along with other physicians in our Nation to build the first of many Nation of Islam owned hospitals.     01:51:00Original Man Scientificnomedicine,womendoctors,womeninstem,science,family medicineOne word could be used to describe Dr. Mayyada Muhammad….resilient.
