  • Dr. Janina Jeff, Scientist and International Award-Winning Podcast Host (InthoseGenes)

    Janina Jeff, I love exploring music and films outside of the mainstream. I'm known for hosting supper clubs and creative gatherings with friends. I named my houseplants after rappers. I host a hip hop-inspired podcast about genetics, identity, and Black culture. I don't believe in following the rules without a good reason. I still struggle with imposter syndrome to this day. I seek out humanity's untold stories through genetics and technology. (Bioinformatics Scientist)
