Must-read article by #RhodesScholar Samuel Greene and @SchmidtFellows on increasing the representation of people with disabilities in #STEM - bit.ly/AccessibleInterviews
27 Jun 2024
15 of our Fellows led by Dr Samuel Greene collaborated on this important and thought-provoking article on increasing the representation of people with disabilities in STEM. Setting out practical recommendations, the work will promote wider reflection, debate, and positive change

We’re so excited to have Richard join our team for the summer! He’s been working on developing stimuli-responsive materials for monitoring inflammation in the gut and is interested in seeing how gut inflammation intersects with heart failure.
9 Jul 2024
👋 Say hello to Richard, a #student in our Undergraduate Summer Research Program!
Working under the supervision of Dr. Caitlin Maikawa & Dr. Alana Ogata, his #research aims to address the intersectionality of chronic conditions like inflammatory bowel disease & #heartfailure.

The lab's first work is now public as a preprint. We have made a polymeric tissue-residing TLR-7/8 agonist yielding a curative response for 4/6 mice when injected into the tumor in a CT26 mouse colon carcinoma model... as a monotherapy! Story below. 1/7 bit.ly/3JN8NBo

Maysa Mustafa, director of @SchmidtFellows global meetings, is an engine for our science. w/o her empathy, excellent facilitation & planning skills, & care for us as people, our GMs wouldn't be such fruitful & welcoming spaces for scientific collaboration & community.#WomenInSTEM
