At the start of the year, I set a goal to submit 9 first-author manuscripts. My mentor thought it was ambitious, but I'm nearly there! 3 commentaries; 2 research pubs in minor revisions; 1 editorial and 1 lit. review under review; submitting 1 research article next week.
Reached. I didn’t know this was a thing!!! How do I get involved
Many Black scientists fall through the cracks during their postdoc; I almost did myself. Last month, 70+ @natblackpostdoc members met for the 1st time to strengthen our community.🙏🏾RT to help us reach new members/sponsors so we can continue to grow no matter the political climate
Biggest thanks to the ever-inspirational Dr. Cassandra Extavour (@redmakeda) for not only giving a stirring @natblackpostdoc Leadership Symposium Keynote speech, but also for leading an insightful session on Digital Productivity and Team Management tools 👏🏾🙏🏾💐
What a week, after having an amazing time during both the NBPA Leadership Symposium and @SCAgingBrain Retreat, I had an opportunity to talk to @neiltyson about my research briefly. He's the real deal and was impressed with our #NBPAinDallas2024 turn out 🤩
Wow!! I had an incredible time at this year's @natblackpostdoc Leadership Symposium at @UTSWMedCenter in Dallas, Texas! It was a powerful gathering of 70+ Black postdocs from across the country, connecting for three days of science and networking!
Truly an amazing experience! #NBPAinDAllas2024
