A couple months ago, the Carolina Latinx Center reached out and asked if I’d be willing to help start a brand new STEM speaker series! I helped put together an all-star team, and we made it happen. I was PUMPED to have @cterminiphd.bsky.social come give a talk!

So inspiring!

Felt rejuvenated after this year’s Annual @hhmi.org Gilliam Conference! Was so nice being with the future of science again 😊 great time sharing my story, playing music, and telling everyone the hot gossip with the happenings of the year 🤭

expecting a lot of @sciforgood.bsky.social contributions 🤗

Great conversation with Representative Deborah Ross today, along with students from NC State!

Great conversations re: multi year funding, the NSF GRFP, @sciforgood.bsky.social, international student scientists, @snapcoalition.bsky.social and more!

Second year grad students no longer eligible for the NSF GRFP?!?

And of course, I’m excited for the looming debuts of the Atlas of Inspiring Latin American Scientists (Fall 2025) and the Index of Inspiring Black Scientists (early Winter 2026).

We also have a very motivated team working on the Atlas of Indigenous Scholars, stay tuned 👀

At UNC, I'm doing a Cert in Innovation for the Public Good and taking a Nonprofit Management class.

Interesting excerpt on "Founder Syndrome":
"... the founder’s psychological identification with the organization... may make it impossible for them to accept a more democratic, team approach..."

Excited to give a talk at posit::conf(2025) this year! Looking forward to sharing the work that all of the Atlas teams have spent hours on 😊 come through so I can brag about and shoutout my teams!

And we have non-alcoholic seltzers getting made too!

Brewing our Loopapalooza Pale Ale at Steel String Brewery! @dphansti.bsky.social

Loopapalooza will have a science research-inspired label. It showcases the work we do in genome organization!

Soon, @sciforgood.bsky.social will be launching this initiative at 11 pilots across the country

🍻 cheers!
