Abstract / Description

In this episode we speak to Dr. Melody Goodman, Interim Dean, Professor of Biostatistics, Director, Center for Anti-racism, Social Justice & Public Health, New York University. We cover her childhood living in Jamaica Queens, New York, and her unconventional career journey that led her to biostatistics and academia. We also discuss the importance of mentorship and her approach to mentoring young scholars of color, as well as her extensive work in measuring how engaged community members feel they are in the research process, and training in the basics of research to find areas of disruption through community life experiences.
