@QuinaScience @NIGMS @LLUHealth It was amazing having you back! Thank you so much for coming.

We had our 22nd Annual Health Disparities Symposium on August 2 at @LLUHealth's, Centennial Complex. Our program featured poster presentations followed by an evening program with a plenary panel and a recognition ceremony for the participating students.

Incredible presentation by Dr. Figueroa, @fig_neurolab, on Minorities & Mental Health. This is a crucial issue that we are all facing and it is important to spread awareness. #mentalhealth #llusmproud #STEM #underrepresented #minorities

High school students, undergrads and medical students participating in the @CHDMM Summer Research Program are doing hands-on biomedical research work in a 8-week session. 🔬 They are collecting data and results that will be presented on August 2nd. medicine.llu.edu/chdmm/health-d…

We want to wish our CHDMM Director and Leader a very Happy Birthday. Dr. @Madeleon73 started this program over 20 years ago and has helped more than 600 students succeed in their biomedical research careers. Thank you and God bless! 🎂🥳🎊

Thank you Dr. Johnny Figueroa @fig_neurolab for this wonderful presentation to our @LLUMedSchool summer students. They enjoyed learning about Effective Scientific Communication. We cherish your time and commitment to our brightest minds that will transform the future. 🎉🤩⚗️

@LLUSBH Congratulations! 🙌🎉🎓

Wonderful seminar today with our @LLUMedSchool summer students. Thank you Dr. Marino De Leon for reviewing the leading causes of mortality in different racial ethnic groups. Students were placed in 4 discussion groups and did flash presentations. #STEM #Science 👏🧪🙌

@fig_neurolab You are doing incredible work @LLUMedSchool Dr. Figueroa, we are in awe in all that you do. 🙌👏 Thank you for your contribution to science. 😊

Last year, we embarked on a new path to understanding how exposure to psychosocial stress and an obesogenic diet during adolescence influences the gut microbiome, brain maturation, and behavior. I am happy to share one of our latest preprints during #WorldMicrobiomeDay2023 🧵

10 years already! Forever grateful for that summer internship in 2013 at the @CHDMM ! Txs to this opportunity I decided to pursue biomedical research as my career. Shout-out to all the #stem programs that create an impact on the next generation of underrepresented students!

@greisha_ortiz @LLUMedSchool @LLUHealth Thank you Dr. Ortiz-Hernandez, we are so proud of you and all of your accomplishments! Keep shining bright 🙌🤩👏🎊

Thank you Dr. Marino De Leon for the Health Disparities Seminar “In Sickness and in Wealth”. Great evening for our summer students. 🙌🍿
