[Kafui Dzirasa, MD PhD @KafuiDzirasa]

So many colleagues sent me thoughtful messages after reading the piece about my experience in science/medicine. But one trainee asked why I'm in a suit in all my pics/vids when I claim to wear a hoodie at work🤣. Sooo...new professional photo. This is my real Sciencing outfit.🐁

[Chancellor's Science Scholars @CSS_Science]

@stutzman_alexis Congratulations!

[Chancellor's Science Scholars @CSS_Science]

We are proud that @CSS_Science scholars are making valuable contributions to the state of NC (and beyond!) through hands-on STEM research here at @UNC. 🔬🧬⚗️🔭🪐🌱🦠🧠 #excellenceispossible

[Chancellor's Science Scholars @CSS_Science]

This summer, Darius Johnson (CSS 4, UNC '20) participated in the @UNC_SOM Kenan Primary Care Medical Scholars program, which aims to inspire more primary care MDs to practice in rural and urban areas of NC. Read about his experiences in the program's urban track. ⤵️ #CSSalumni

[UNC Health Foundation @UNCHealthFdn]

Meet two dynamic UNC medical students, Darius Johnson and Kristel Black, whose six-week summer internships as Kenan Urban Primary Care Medical Scholars took them on a deep dive into primary care needs in downtown Raleigh.

Fascinating article on an interdisciplinary approach to innovative wearable technology from the Bai Lab at @UNC! Kimberly Brown (CSS 9, UNC '25), a computer science major and undergrad researcher in the lab, is pictured below--front row, on the left. 🤩 #excellenceispossible

[UNC College of Arts and Sciences @unccollege]

Meet Wubin Bai, assistant professor of applied physical sciences, and his team, who are working to improve patients' lives through a wearable, wireless patch that monitors heart pulsation, respiration and more during recovery. https://t.co/7dvYScworJ @baiwubin @aps_unc @UNC_SOM

[Carolina Giving @carolina_giving]

Varun Potlapalli ‘23 spent the summer getting his feet wet in MD-PhD studies as part of a collaboration between @UNC_SOM and @CSS_Science. He shadowed doctors, attended rounds, met with current MD-PhD students and prepared a research presentation. https://t.co/GGizGGe6N1

[Chancellor's Science Scholars @CSS_Science]

Love seeing #CSSalumni out doing great things, like Maggie Wagner (CSS 6, UNC '22) who is now pursuing her PhD in #bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania! 🤩 #excellenceispossible
