Excited to celebrate the PhD defense of soon to be Dr. Eliseo Salas- he has had a winding path to this PhD, but he has succeeded amazingly AND even better! He has a job at the University of Wisconsin immediately after he defends. Super proud to be a member of his thesis committee and mentor 🎉

Celebrating 25 years of @EmoryUniversity FIRST/IRACDA post-doctoral training program, which has so successfully launched the careers of SO many faculty and contributed to enhancing the professorate and biomedical science. Sad this is the end 😢

We need these moments these days- a former mentee who has been through the grad school ringer after Covid-19 severely impacted her undergrad research contacted me to say after 3 years of applications and interviews- she will attend her dream PhD program next year! Thrilled for her!
