Labwork to Leadership officially released today!! I'm humbled by the support from our community, as it's already sold out in most places. But the eBook is available now on kindle & apple books or you can still pick up a hard copy through @Harvard_Press: hup.harvard.edu/books/97806742…

First copies of my book are here!! As a new faculty member, I realized that in addition to my research job, I also had a leadership job…and I wasn’t prepared for that. This book is the guide I wish I’d had then, with the goal of helping others now.   jenheemstra.com/book
