Dynamic #MAHPING duo, reporting for duty! Had a great time serving as judges this morning for Spelman College #ResearchDay . As a bonus, we got to catch up with a number of former/current students ❤️ special day!

Thank you to everyone who responded to this message! I’ve passed the information on to the trainee, who’s figuring out next steps. I really appreciate the outpouring of support!

I know a very talented researcher who received the U.S. National Science Foundation GRFP in neuroscience (amazing!) but was not admitted to any PhD programs this cycle. Any #neuroscience PhD prgms able to consider a trainee with 3 yrs funding so they don't need to decline the award? (Can't defer it seems)

If you've ever wondered if journal clubs could be better, the answer is YES.

Vanderbilt Biochemistry's Madhvi Venkatesh (she/her) and Harvard Medical School's Tari Tan, PhD (she/her) provide an accessible and user-friendly guide to 'maximize the learning benefits and promote equity in science.'
