When I read her resume and interviewed her the first time I knew she was amazing. I knew she was a piece that was needed on the team. Yesterday at the Brain initiative meeting I got to see her be absolutely amazing. @BlackInNeuro meet @NasmilValera she is amazing.

Participating in this bootcamp and reflecting on it as a strategy to promote equity was so rewarding! Big thanks to you Meagan for bringing me in and to the editors @JofMicroscopy for helping this piece shine!
I am super proud of this piece authored by @lfblackmon and I - we synthesized stats on #gender #diversity in the #imaging and #optics field and how academic career bootcamps like ours at Cal can increase #belonging for women in optics. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿพโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/โ€ฆ
