Developing leadership is a core part of our Fellowship. Thank you to Jessica Notini for a negotiation masterclass and to our Chair of Academic Council Professor John Boothroyd for sharing his expertise in managing teams - all as part of our Science Leadership Program today.

"Inspirational" is used a lot, by us and others. But today’s talks by Stephen Luby and Manu Prakash  as part of our Science Leadership Program exceed the definition. Thank you. Search up their work and be inspired: lubylab.stanford.edu + web.stanford.edu/group/prakash-…

Clear and intentional communication is vital for effective science leaders. Thank you to the amazing JD Schramm for joining our Science Leadership Program this evening to coach our Fellows on the art of the pitch and pursuing mastery. So much energy in the room!

Privileged to have such an incredible panel share their collective expertise in creating + maintaining interdisciplinary teams. Steve Chu Risa Wechsler and Zhenan Bao reflected on their experience and key success components. Thank you for supporting our Science Leadership Program

Global ambition for social good is an integral component of our program and of our Science Leadership Program this week. We are grateful to Stuart Russell, Jodi Halpern, Jack Gallent for a challenging and engaging workshop on science and ethics. Thank You.

A huge thank you again from all of us to Stanford University and UC Berkeley for hosting our Science Leadership Program. Speakers across diverse fields shared their highs, lows, successes, and frustrations, providing insights and expertise that will stay with our 2023 Fellows

We have a study of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) Emory University testing new treatment Vagal Nerve Stimulation. We are looking for people who are using opioids, live in Atlanta, and are willing to undergo supervised withdrawal inpatient. [email protected] or (678) 829-2622

It has been an incredible week so far for our 2023 Fellows. They have completed their Science Leadership Program and we are welcoming them to our Senior Fellows community. Each new cohort brings something new and makes our lifelong community stronger.

Our partners, Schmidt Science Fellows, hosted their first Interdisciplinary Science Summit in association with University of Toronto, sparking new ideas & collaborations. We're excited to see how this community will continue to drive meaningful change and inspire the next generation of science leaders!

Had a great time at the mHealth Training Institute! Pleasure meeting such impressive and compassionate scholars pushing interdisciplinary research on mHealth forward. Special shout out to my project team Lauren Henry, PhD Jonah Meyerhoff is @jonahjmeyerhoff.bsky.social Meelim J. Kim Meghan Romanelli, PhD, LCSW Pedja Klasnja

Paper out in IEEE Engineering Medicine and Biology Society J-BHI! Irregular breathing during traumatic memories was positively correlated with PTSD symptoms in 156 war veterans. Irregular breathing was quantified using markers of respiratory variability that can be measured using wearables! doi.org/10.1109/JBHI.2…

“Lead author, whereabouts currently unknown”

Excited to discuss algorithms that can make wearables more intelligent University of Utah! If you are around on Sept. 30 and are interested in attending or meeting up, please reach out or see uofuhealth.utah.edu/digistars-scho… for more details on the DigiStars Scholars Program

Postdoc Asim Gazi was selected as one of this year’s DigiStars Scholars! He’ll give the talk "Transforming Wearables into Intelligent Decision-Makers for Just-in-Time Health Support" at tomorrow’s Utah DigiStars Program. Congratulations, Asim!
