Just watched the full House hearing & testimony of NIH Director Dr. Monica Bertignolli.
A few takeaways:

Being chosen as a Leading Edge fellow was a pivotal point in my career where I began to think "maybe I can actually do THIS!" It reenforced that thought at EVERY step. The community got me through the job market with my sanity and continues to be invaluable! Apply!!!
