16 Notes from the author

I appreciate you for taking the time to read through this material and I hope that you are inspired to implement hip-hop and sneaker culture into your respective settings. As a chemist, I want to teach the public about the many ways chemistry is involved in our daily lives.  I envision myself serving in the science communication space alongside Bill Nye the Science Guy, Raven the Science Maven, Hip Hop MD, and Emily’s Wonderlab. Taking a creative approach with Ky the Chemist as my stage name, I will teach different STEAM concepts using hip-hop culture and fashion. My multifarious experiences have allowed me to gain exposure to multiple disciplines and will serve me well as I connect with other PEERs and a general public audience in the future.

 Alternatively, I encourage you to find or create a creative approach to educate future scientists that incorporate aspects of yourself and culture – Ky the Chemist
