I had never presented a poster at a national conference until this week, when I attended the National IRACDA Conference in Chapel Hill, North Carolina!

This would not have been possible without the support of the @SD_IRACDA program and my mentor, @joann_trejo. Thank you!

It’s been a busy summer, but I’m excited to share that I have two publications: a first-author paper in Cancer Letters and a co-authored paper in the American Journal of Cell Physiology. The AJCP paper was highlighted on the cover!

My abstract was accepted for poster presentation at the 2024 ASCB Conference. I will find out in a month if my abstract scored high enough for me to do both the poster and participate in the microsymposia (poster teaser talk).

Follow along in a day in the life of Consuelo Sauceda, a fifth-year Ph.D. student in @UCSDBMS! 🔬

Fun fact: Today is Consuelo's 10-year anniversary since doing Summer Training Academy for Research Success (STARS) as an undergraduate student in Professor @joann_trejo's lab! 🧫
