Dr. Demy Alfonso, has had an incredible year! She received the Warshaw Research Award at Emory University and grant funding as a PI from the Pediatric Epilepsy Research Consortium (PERC). We can't wait to see all the amazing things she has yet to do!

Having a partner who truly sees & knows you is a game changer through this hectic journey as a trainee. So grateful to my partner for being my rock, my soundboard, my cheerleader, & my challenger (when needed). Didnโt realize how much I was carrying on my own before I met him.
Hi Everyone! I am recruiting participants for my dissertation! I don't need many more participants. Please share and review with anyone that might qualify!
