N1 - Funding Information: What I share with you are two solutions that I have benefited from. As a second-year graduate student, I received a fellowship from Pfizer. In addition to making connections with other students of color, I was also able to visit Groton to meet industrial scientists who were women and/or ethnic minorities. I also spent several hours working mechanisms with a man I soon learned was Prof. E. J. Corey! The program was an excellent example of an academic–industrial partnership. In year three, I earned a fellowship from the UNCF/Merck Science Initiative. I credit this program, and the people I met at Merck, as one of the three primary influences on my scientific career. In fact, I’ve known my Merck mentor, Anthony Ogawa, for almost 15 years and still seek his counsel.
