Absolutely heartbreaking to see MARC U-STAR and U-RISE programs showing up on terminated grants lists. I owe my entire life to MARC U-STAR.

As early-career researchers, our futures are at stake and it’s quite weird how the people in the positions we aspire to be in are not defending us and the scientific enterprise. If you are defending us, we'd love some transparency! Let us help! It's OUR futures!

achieved an exciting science milestone: my image is currently displayed on the walls of MIT! feels a little surreal seeing my name on a plaque, but so thankful for my mentors, labmates, the @mitkochinstitute.bsky.social, and the patients & families that we do this work for.
