This is the amazing science I’m fortunate enough to build off of for the next few years!

Proud to have won 1st place in the Junior Graduate Student category at the Charlton Poster Competition hosted by TuftsGSBS!! Presenting work from qiaobing xu Lab where a team of us are using an vivo gene editing project to treat atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease

Now that in-person posters are back at many big conferences, here are my tips for getting through a poster presentation when you're #DisabledinSTEM - hopefully applicable across disabilities 🧵

Time for the annual state of the lab and lab culture survey by Leslie Vosshall PhD . Can’t stop smiling when looking at the word cloud generated from the words that lab members choose to describe the lab. I love what we have built here!

My experiences over the last 5 years- as a female junior PI in engineering, as a mentor to young women and students from historically excluded groups, as a mother to a child with severe disabilities - have changed me and motivated me to speak up. 1/3
