Being a fellow of the @InterSciFellows Program was an amazing experience. Great science, cool mentors, and many opportunities to expand your network. I highly recommend applying to this program. Most of the fellows are now Faculty members with bright futures. Congratulations!
Our 21-22 cohort recently wrapped up and we couldn't be more proud of our Fellows. Congratulations to all of them on their accomplishments! 🤩#ISFS2021 #RollCall Pls help celebrate them! First up, fellows who recently received new career appointments.

Female scientists at NYU feel utterly betrayed today, myself included. Where does Title IX start and end? If you’re willing to support the women at NYU, we would appreciate if this were spread far and wide. #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM @NIH @HHMINEWS #Cancer #Science
Biologist David Sabatini, who has been forced out of or fired from three leading institutions for sexual misconduct, may now be hired by the New York University Grossman School of Medicine.
