We’re back for Nerdin’ About Season 2! Grab your lab coat and your rhinestones because this week we’re mixing Science and Drag. In this episode we chat with Shawn Hercules, a PhD candidate who studies breast cancer at McMaster University. Shawn is investigating why an aggressive form of breast cancer disproportionately affects people of African ancestry, and he shares some potential explanations. When he’s not sifting through genetic data, Shawn transforms to Miss Rawbyn Diamonds in drag. Rawbyn is a fierce artist, challenging cis/heteronormative sterotypes in science to bring her true self to the table as a queer person and scientist. We’re excited for you to meet Shawn and Rawbyn!
