I want to be an author. Saucy sense of humour. Not single, wish I was. Glad I'm not? Oh and buy my books and tell everyone your know to buy my books, so I can stop working and start writing more. Thanks.

Biochemist Dr. Ida Stephens Owens mapped how human genes control drug metabolism.
The first Black woman to earn a PhD from Duke (1967), she spent ~50 years at NIH. She identified the UGT1A gene complex, decoding how enzymes detoxify drugs & harmful toxins. She was born #OTD in 1939.🧵
