🚨 AIMBE is calling on the biomedical research community to take a minute to send our 3 new advocacy letters urging Congress to: 1. Protect the STEM Training Pipeline (e.g., NIH MOSAIC, T32s, MARC, etc.) 2. Oppose Indirect Cost Caps 3. Support Research Funding in FY2026 aimbe.org/advocate/wri...

As we wind down the end of 2024, it was nice to take time and celebrate the holidays with a bi-coastal white elephant lab exchange! So fun to celebrate all with my lab members at both #UCSF and #BrownUniversity.

Snippet from our social hour. Lately I’ve been asked what makes Brown engineering great? Easy answer: the people, the culture! With job interviews in full swing, don’t forget to reflect if you like your would be future colleagues and how they interact. #academia #brownuniversity
