Iām excited to be in Ann Arbor, MI to participate in the 2024 #NextProfNexus Future Faculty Workshop with Michigan Engineering Berkeley Engineering & Georgia Tech College of Engineering āļø I also canāt wait to hear my former Dean Stephanie Adams give the keynote speech later this week.


I learned so much invaluable information at the 2024 #NextProf Nexus, as evidenced by the dissertation chapterās worth of notes I took! A huge thank you to the organizers & presenters š the cherry on top was getting to meet up with fellow Varner Lab alumna Somdutta Chakraborty



What an amazing event! I enjoyed connecting with so many great placental researchers from Mayo Clinic UMN Duluth & University of Minnesota at the inaugural Minnesota Placenta Research Community Symposium! Thanks to Sarah Wernimont for organizing & the invite!
