On my final day working @PackardFdn, my son suggested I take a pic with this portrait. It’s a mosaic of young David and Lucile Packard, composed entirely of #PackardFellows. To all my Foundation friends and Fellows, thank you for an incredible 18 years. ❤️

Do you have research that would benefit from a visualization? LA Tech's VISTA program pairs students in their #scientific #visualization program with clients to create #sciart, like this piece by Alaycia Moore. Check out some of their work here: bit.ly/3ZrS3XV #scicomm

Hey #PackardFellows! Our friend, Tim, has a new song (the first in the @acapellascience series on immunology). And it’s even catchier than the Two Minute Summary of your talks! 🦦🎶

Starting off the fall semester with a shout-out to #teachingexcellence @BEAMvt @vwang_vt! Vincent Wang's favorite part about teaching is getting to know the students and seeing their diverse perspectives. beam.vt.edu/about/news/teach…

Hey @vwang_vt! I wonder if your lab’s advances in orthopedic research can be used for tendon repair from our epic sibling wrestling matches as kids. 🤼 Keep up the good work @VTEngineering

.@vwang_vt conducts research in #biomechanics, specifically related to musculoskeletal injuries. He knew early on he wanted to incorporate artificial intelligence into his research, so he pursued collaborations with experts in other fields. vtx.vt.edu/articles/2022/07/…

Absolutely thrilled to welcome @celestemnelson to the #PackardFellows Advisory Panel! And deep gratitude to @francesarnold for 15 years on our science board -- selecting 273 Packard Fellows during that period (and countless gong ringing at our meetings).

⭕ 🌟 A full circle moment 🌟 ⭕
Dr. Celeste Nelson became a #PackardFellow in 2008 & today takes her seat on the Packard Fellows Advisory Panel to support the next generation of brilliant scientists to explore new frontiers in #STEM. bit.ly/3rsLIvc

I find it interesting that all three recent US female #NobelPrize winners in the sciences were supported by the @PackardFdn early in their careers. Such early support is critical to be able to pursue new ideas.

When our Foundation staff leave their books out in the open, there are unintended discoveries – like this 8-year old’s takeaways from Walter Isaacson’s “The Code Breaker” featuring Packard Fellow @doudna_lab & gene editing technology #CRISPR. 🧬👩🏻🔬
