An impressive two days of amazing science, vibrant interactions, and merry festivities at the XXXVII @CSHL In-House Symposium. Among the award winners was @SessenDaniel, winning the CSHL WiSE Mentorship Award for their commitment to fostering scientific excellence.
I am overwhelmed with joy. Receiving the mentorship award for fostering scientific excellence at @CSHL is probably one of the best highlights of this PhD journey so far (1/n).

I want to take a moment to acknowledge international students: The constant worry & energy spent working on immigration documents Being excluded from funding opportunities valued for postdoc & faculty positions And the emotional toll of being away from family

It was an honor and pleasure to meet Dr. Michael Summers from @UMBC. His frameSHIFT talk @CSHL on inclusivity in STEM and the story of the Meyerhoff Scholars Program was incredibly inspiring. Discussing with him over dinner really inspired us to thrive towards #diversifyingSTEM
