@NineciaS Congratulations!!! What type of things can you write a policy brief on? I was thinking a push for interdisciplinary medicine esp including sociologists with microbiologists in public health policy development.

Hi @BlackInMicro I’m a 2nd yr PhD grad @IowaStateU, an @NIH @NIDA pre-doc, recently nominated for the HHMI Gilliam Fellowship. Interested in substance use, stress bio, human dev and the gut-brain axis . So happy to represent this year ! #BlackInMicroRollCall

Someone called me "astute" when I was sciencing the other day. It made me feel really good. Please feel free to use the word astute more often when speaking to earlier career peeps

So happy to announce that I am officially an NIH funded Pre-Doctoral Scholar. Cheers to Year 2 of my Ph.D., new heights, and my first time at the #ISPNE2021 conference. So grateful for these opportunities !
