Her parents, both pharmaceutical researchers, fueled her passion. At age nine, her father launched his own business, formulating new medications while explaining every detail to his favorite daughter. Jennifer was fascinated by his lab equipment\u2014measuring cylinders, flasks, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an adult, Jennifer graduated with a chemistry degree from Dillar University, making history as the <strong>first African American<\/strong> to earn a scientific degree from the University of Northern Iowa.
