Brains and Braggadocio: Dr. Akinyemi Oni-Orisan

This month, we’re bringing you a Black Excellence in STEM mini-series, a collaboration with BE-STEM. This series will consist of interviews with notable Black faculty as well as a special episode with Black graduate students here at UCSF. For our first episode, we talked to Dr. Akinyemi Oni-Orisan about how he’s improving cardiovascular care for everyone and how he inspires confidence in himself and his students.
