I am a product of Affirmative Action... Currently I get paid from a minority based fellowship from the National Institutes of Health for underrepresented minorities in molecular biology...
I am a case of taking advantage of an opportunity that has presented itself. I may never get another opportunity like this again. And in 3 years I will apply for other funds from various departments of the NIH. I will be under just the same amount of scrutiny as all the other applicants and will be required to have similar credentials as anyone else...
Regardless how I got here, I am still held accountable for all that I do in my field just as much as anyone else would be....
