I almost cried when I got my certificate tonight because I knew my Grandpa would be so proud of me šŸ’œ. He helped me pick out my picture to submit to HHMI Gilliam too so finding it all blown up was so heartwarming! šŸ’œ

I’m packing today to go to the HHMI Gilliam conference, which has been my dream since starting graduate school. I feel so fortunate that I received this opportunity to help mold me into a better scientist, but it comes with a pang sadness for me.

And I sprained my foot during recovery because I fell down the stairs so walking is even more challenging than before! šŸ™ƒ. By the end of the day, I come home crying and just go to bed without eating!.

ā€œAre you fully recovered now?ā€. ā€œNot really. I had physical therapy this morning to re-teach me how to breathe and I still feel all of my organs that were sliced into with every step and don’t sleep at all due to painā€. ā€œThen why are you backā€. ā€œCommittee meeting requires data.ā€.

I’m excited to share that my first scientific research article has been published: @JProteomeRes . If someone had told my younger self that I would one day contribute to math-heavy scientific research, I would have found it hard to believe!.

I can't believe three years has gone by already with @GeneticsGSA! I've had such an amazing time being part of ECLP and helping raise awareness of accessibility concerns! . Thank you to GSA and I can't wait to see the continued success of the Accessibility Subcommittee and ECLP!
