Back when<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Jehiel Smith<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>was in middle school,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the movies<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cHidden Figures\u201d<\/span> and<\/span> \u201cBlack<\/span> Panther\u201d<\/span> celebrated<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Black people<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>with<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>expertise<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>in STEM fields.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cThose movies were big<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>for my age group and my culture,\u201d he said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>But as much as he admired those characters, their knowledge<\/span> felt<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>out of reach.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>considered<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>working in<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>healthcare,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>perhaps as<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>a doctor.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>He spent his teenage years as his mother\u2019s primary caregiver, helping her cope with multiple chronic<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>conditions. Those<\/span> experiences<\/span> led him to earn<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>his<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>nursing assistant certification<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>at age 17,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>which<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>allowed him to work<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>at<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>nursing<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>facility<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>in<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>his neighborhood in<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Greenfield.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"text<\/a>During<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>high school, Smith<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>also<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>met<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the founders of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Pipeline to Practice, a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Milwaukee<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>nonprofit that supports<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>American<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>descendants<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>slavery<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>in their efforts to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>become doctors.<\/span> When<\/span> cofounder Dr. Delicia Randle-Izard<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>learned<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>about<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Smith\u2019s experience working with older adults,<\/span> she<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>encouraged<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>him to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>attend<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>UW-Milwaukee<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>apply to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>its Success Through Aging Research<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>program. Funded by the National Institute<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>on Aging, the program gives UWM<\/span> undergraduate students<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>funding,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>academic<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>support and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the chance to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>work<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>on mentored research projects related to aging.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Smith<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>was<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>initially hesitant. \u201cI thought,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2018There\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>no way<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I\u2019m<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>going to do well in<\/span> research,\u2019\u201d<\/span> he<\/span> said. \u201cI<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>just want to help people feel better.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Randle-Izard encouraged him to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>consider how<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>his<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>research<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>might help many more<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>elderly patients. And <\/span>research experience could<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>help his future medical school applications.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Smith<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>applied<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>was accepted into the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>STAR<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>program. He<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>joined<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Professor<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Michael Carvan\u2019s<\/span> lab<\/span> in the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>School of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Freshwater<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Sciences, studying zebrafish, a type of fish<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>with genetic similarities<\/span> to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>humans. <\/span>In one project, Smith investigated how introducing novel objects, such as Legos, into zebrafish tanks enhances the fish\u2019s ability to cope with and adapt to stressful situations. Zebrafish allow researchers to explore the biological processes that contribute to human behavior.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>neuroscience major, Smith<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>now works<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>in the lab of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Elizabeth Liedhegner, assistant professor of biomedical science, where he is studying a cell model of diabetic retinopathy, the leading cause of blindness in the developed world. <\/span>One of their goals is to understand how high glucose alters protein expression involved in blood vessel growth and inflammation.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This year, his fourth at UWM, Smith will<\/span> continue his\u202fundergrad\u202fcoursework and gain additional research experience.\u202fHands-on learning\u202fin the lab has\u202fbuilt his confidence\u202fin challenging biology courses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Medical school remains a possibility.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cBut doing research has<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>definitely<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>opened<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>my mind<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to all the ways<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I can contribute to science,\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Smith says. And<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>he\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>proud that<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>talking about<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>his research with younger cousins has inspired<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>them to consider<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>science-based<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>careers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
