I was hoping to receive a Patronus Charm before sharing this news. However, the start date is here so it is time. I am thrilled to have received a K99 training award and start this very important work for women’s health. I’m so grateful for the strong support of my mentors during these dark times.

This is concerning. I wonder what it means for applications in the system that were due for February review?
