Zak Peet’s non-traditional path to become a researcher might buck expectations of a scientist's story.
In the latest episodes of Enhance Science’s Become A Researcher series, Zak shares about his journey from houselessness and substance abuse to enrolling in community college and now pursuing a PhD in Community Research and Action at Binghamton University in New York.
“To go from [my past hardships] to where I am now, I truly believe it's a miracle,” Zak said. “I just hope that at least one person hears my story… and if it’s just one person that is like, picking up what I’m putting down, then that’s cool.
The main thing is hope.”
