What's special about this position? It has an emphasis on a history of outreach and mentorship along with plans to continue this (in addition to your research program.) In short: protected time to do outreach.

@GavinNewsom @elonmusk Why is Musk being allowed to disrupt the system? I'm sure those men have better things to do than debrief someone who frankly has nothing to do with the problem at hand.

Medicine thrives on knowledge, yet clinical vocabularies are fragmented. AI struggles to unify this knowledge, creating a gap in precision medicine. Excited to share unified clinical vocabulary embeddings, a project led by stellar @ruthie_johnson Half of healthcare foundation AI

We look forward to our NBPA Leadership Symposium next week (Oct. 23-25)! Surely, the sight of 70+ Black PhDs gathered in community will be equally as empowering as the symposium sessions themselves❤️‍🔥 Many of our attendees will present their work, see the flyer for more info👇🏾✨

The only thing between you and almost five hours covering everything you wanted to know about hierarchal modeling? A modest donation to one of two organizations doing some really important work.
