It’s a crucial reminder to be more empathetic and supportive of our immigrant trainees and colleagues, who pour themselves into their work while navigating a quiet, personal sacrifice. Happy Diwali! 🪔

We had a conversation that was a fleeting comfort in a silence that felt heavy. This annual reflection reinforces a simple truth about the path many of us have chosen. The heart we pour into our science is the same heart that longs for family and traditions far away. 🪔

I recall the profound loneliness I felt when I was on campus splitting cells on a weekend that, back home, would be filled with the light and warmth of family. I remember seeing an Indian face in the cafeteria, walking up to him and wishing him Happy Diwali. 🪔

This sounds just like the kind of thoughts and ideas I have when I am trying to focus on writing a grant!

While the postings state the priority for virologists, note that we are also open to immunologists working in models of infectious disease/host pathogen interactions!
