Hello to my wonderful science network! Any NIH F32 awardees willing to mentor a postdoc working on their application? They are planning to investigate elementary-age children’s emotions and academic achievement using EEG.

My state is not ok. She boosted the entire local economy. Quietly paid for people's educations and medical bills. Bought band outfits for Black schools. Built rural libraries out of her own pocket. Be the legacy she left behind. Be generous, be kind, be loving. We will always love you, Dolly.

Join today's science policy workshop with the incredible Adriana Bankston! Registration is free through GSA's online portal, and membership is not required. Spread far and wide!

If this had existed when I went back to school, I simply wouldn't be in STEM today. The conferences I attended, the international collaborators I worked with, and the professional society memberships I had access to all contributed to my current role. Comment TODAY!
