Emory FIRST IRACDA Program

Our amazing Emory FIRST IRACDA scholars @emorycollege presented their research at the 2024 IRACDA Conference poster session @UNC SPIRE IRACDA, along with IRACDA scholars from across the country. IRACDA scholars are truly making remarkable strides in science! @NIH @NIGMS

@snickclunk Great catching up with you, Teresa! Always a pleasure to see FIRST alum. We’re looking forward to your participation on the IRACDA alumni panel.

It is delightful to be invited back to Carolina for the IRACDA meeting! Can't wait to catch up with @FIRST_IRACDA & all the other fellows... But first things must come first - which means a jaunt into Carrboro for Locopops on the Weaver St lawn. 😎

We’re thrilled to be at the Annual NIH IRACDA conference. Yesterday, @DrMrsKellyHogan kicked things off with an inspiring talk on creating a more inclusive and equitable learning environment for college students. Get her book! Thanks @UNC SPIRE IRACDA for hosting! @NIGMS

Today, we were honored to host Dr. Jamie Mells, an Emory FIRST IRACDA alumni and Lt. Commander in the U.S. Public Health Service. Dr. Mells shared invaluable insights into career opportunities at USPHS with Emory FIRST IRACDA scholars @usphscc @CDCgov

We’re rooting for our FIRST/IRACDA scholar Dr. Monica Thieu @monica_too_ as she competes in the first-ever “Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament” on Thursday, March 28, hosted by trivia legend Ken Jennings. news.emory.edu/features/2024/… via @emoryuniversity

Registration is open for the annual IRACDA conference. We are excited to present an itinerary of balance and well-being in the context of research and teaching. Can't wait to see everyone June 25-27th 2023. #research #teaching #iracda #iracda2023 iracda2023.com

FIRST is accepting applications for its 2022 Cohort. FIRST seeks to recruit a cohort of postdocs who are interested in combining research and teaching. Last fall, eight recent FIRST alums began their first appointments as assistant professors. Why FIRST? first2020.org
