Thank you so much, and I’m so sorry to your trainees as well 😞

I’m grateful to have mentors and colleagues who are supporting me for my final year of graduate school. These continued attacks on science and DEI don’t just stifle our overall scientific progress—they threaten the careers and livelihood of researchers, including emerging scientists.

Sadly my F31 was not renewed because it was a diversity F31, a mechanism that no longer exists as it was terminated under the Trump administration. I was eligible for a diversity F due to being a low income, first generation student. Diversity Fs are reviewed in the same study sections as regular Fs

Congratulations!!
