I spoke in this episode with Maynard Okereke. Maynard is a trained civil  and environmental engineer who has developed a second career in  scientific communication for young people and particularly young people  of color. He arrived at this interest from previous careers in  engineering and then acting and music. He is also a seasoned  entrepreneur, forgive the pun, with his own line of flavoring salt which  are vegan and number one selling brand on Amazon. He is the host of  hip-hop science as his alter ego, Hip Hop MD. He is a renowned public  speaker and advocate for diversity in STEM, He is a true Renaissance  human being, and it was my honor to check in with him.
