I am happy to say that I am officially an NIH MARC Scholar🥳 I will be funded until I graduate. I would like to thank @minniescientist @CathySamayoa @brownlenses , the HER Lab, the Genentech Foundation, and my friends and family for supporting me thus far!

Purchasing my own @Eppendorf_USA pipettes has really been the best choice of my life. They are super sleek and allow me to perform all the qPCR’s I need with ease 🤓

The first day of in-person instruction was yesterday and I completely forgot how tiring it is 😭 I slept like an absolute brick last night

[Alex Orellana @AE_orellana]

This is going to be a fun year (:

[Minerva Orellana, PhD MS 🇸🇻👩🏻‍🔬🇺🇸 @minniedoctora]

2022: the year of preparation. This year, it’s going to be a big one for us. We’ll both be entering our final year of our schooling not knowing where we will be next year. We are going to give it our all and see where God leads us for our next steps #DoctoresOrellanas

[Leti Márquez-Magaña @brownlenses]

It's shameful that many stigmatize students who begin their education at a community college. In my 27 years as a research professor graduates of @OfficialCCSF have been top students in @SFSU classes and have gone on to complete doctoral degrees.

Hi Twitter 👋🏼

Last week, I finished my written quals and yesterday my second first-author paper was accepted with minor revisions. Of course, I had to celebrate 🥳

[Alex Orellana @AE_orellana]

My body feels like I got run over by a semi...what a great Monday 🙃
