Happy to share that I have been named a Fulbright Scholar. I will spend short periods in Brazil over the next two summers to begin new research collaborations and teach a short course. Its always been a dream of mine to one day be a part of this historic program to further global exchanges and 1/2

A great surprise to end the week. A grant proposal to study a devastating soft tissue sarcoma has been recommended for funding by the Department of Defense. This is a fantastic collaboration with Angie Hirbe's lab here at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

Had a fun outing with some of our BMB Dept admin staff at the Kitchen Conservatory, where they prepared a really delicious lunch while we all got a chance to catch up with each other. We truly have such wonderful hard working admin staff that keep our dept running!

My Lab surprised me before group meeting with a little celebration for being elected as a AAAS Fellow. Definitely lucky to have such great scientists, but even more incredible human beings in my lab.

Was very proud of the US HUPO leadership who held an impromptu "Town Hall" during the US HUPO Conference this week to discuss the recent uncertainties and challenges in science. There were lots of anxieties, difficult questions, but sincere conversations. Most conversations were not centered 1/2

The Garcia Lab had a great time at the US HUPO Conference this week. US HUPO is such a strong, interactive and supportive community, which is exactly what we all needed right now.
