Hi ððū My name is Adama and I'm here to carry on the conversation on all things #BlackInCardioWeek with a little bit about me( @catalystinme_ ). Really excited ðŦðŦðŦðŦðŦðŦðŦðŦðŦðŦðŦðŦðŦðŦ 
So why cardiovascular science?
I am a bit obsessive and ever since i learnt about circulation my mind was fixated on the heart. To me it's a simple but complex and obviously incredibly important organ ð

Outside of direct science I am a few people
1. I love design
2. Passionate about science communication ( we'll talk more about this)
3. Love food and watch an unhealthy amount of netflix ðĪŠ

What I love about #BlackInCardioWeek so far is how diverse and interdisciplinary it has been in terms of what we are all doing to contribute to the field ðĪĐ
The reality is that cardiovascular health requires the collaboration between research, public health, epidemiology, clinical expertise and scientific communication in order to ensure the overall improvement in the education of cardiovascular health #BlackInCardioWeek
A common theme that has resonated with me from the live sessions so far there will be a personal motivation as to why you have decided to pursue contributing to the advancement of cardiovascular science #BlackInCardioWeek
So why did I enter into cardiovascular research? ð
Well I fell in love with cardiovascular pharmacology during my BSc and was intrigued about the pathophysiology of various CVDs such as heart failure, atherosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial ischaemia and arrhythmias

My PhD research in particular is looking into the biological mechanisms of obesity within the adipose tissue and how this can lead to the manifestation of CVDs #BlackInCardioWeek #BlackInCardioMetabolic
Obesity is one of the main risk factors of cardiovascular disease and it usually arises when there is an imbalance between the calories consumed and calories expended especially the excessive consumption of high fat food.
