Young Lady sets record at US university, becomes first black woman to earn PhD in Immunology

A young lady named Kristy Carter has made history as the first black woman to earn a Doctorate degree in Imunnology at the University of Glasgow in the United States.

Kristy Carter made history by becoming not just the first-ever Black woman but also the first black person to earn a doctorate degree in Immunology at the University of Glasgow, United States.

She mentioned that she was motivated by Dr. James McCune Smith, the first African American to achieve a medical degree who graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1837.

Kristy who is now a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University working on diabetic skin wound healing expressed her gratitude to her community adding that she hopes that her accomplishment can inspire others in the same manner that McCune Smith did for her.

“I came across Harriet Washington’s book, Medical Apartheid, and learned about Dr McCune Smith’s story. Hearing about his story, being born into slavery, defeating that in a way, and travelling here to pursue education I thought if he can do that, I can do anything,” she said.

“Today, I made history as the first Black graduate of the University of Glasgow PhD of Immunology. Being the first black student, of all genders, to graduate with this PhD is a huge honor, and I owe it all to Dr. McCune Smith,” she added.

Kristy mentioned that she hopes that her record-breaking achievement would not be the last in the university.” I’m the first, and I won’t be the last, and I can only hope my story inspires more people to attend,” she said.

I had the great privilege of spending US election night with Emily Maitlis as she began her gradual descent into madness. Unfortunately, I had to leave the Channel Four studio early – to catch a plane back from Washington to London. So I missed the bit where those swing states began turning Republican red, and when Emily apparently started swearing in frustration. But I could already see that she was getting pretty revved up. At one point she turned to me and glared tragically through kohl-rimmed eyes: ‘Would YOU leave your children alone in the company of Donald Trump?’ she asked, as if that were some clinching political argument.

I still remember the moment I met Jake – handsome, strong, middle-class Jake. It was like the scene in a rom-com when the protagonist meets the man you just know she’s going to marry. He was charming, funny and had this incredible energy about him that drew me in – all the while being just ordinary enough not to come off like a player or a narcissist.
