Adriana Norris takes some of the mystery out of academia!
Inspired by science — and passing it on, the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) wrote an article about her!
This piece highlights her work with the ASBMB Science Outreach and Communication Committee (SOCC), her recent interview with a member of ASBMB SOCC, where they discussed their amazing outreach work, her YouTube videos aimed at making academia more accessible, her philosophies on mentorship, and her exciting transition from metabolism to virology research.
