Hey, I'm Tamira! I'm a FAMU (BS) and WashU (PhD) Alum. I earned my BS in chemistry-biochemistry and my PhD in biology and biomedical sciences. I used to teach biochemistry, but now I focus on writing science curriculum. I also edit books and wrote my first children's book with my daughter.

calling the timeline, the skyline is actually cute asf😭

Hey Bluesky! I’m an Assistant Professor at North Carolina A&T State University in the Department of Biology. My lab focuses on how social determinants of food accessibility influences diet and the impact diet, in turn, has on health outcomes via the gut microbiome. Great to connect with you all!
