At the end of my presentations I usually try to add #Spanish. I’ve had positive & negative feedback on it. Yet to me it’s important not only because it’s part of who I am, but because it reminds others that we as researchers come from different backgrounds.

First copies of my book are here!! As a new faculty member, I realized that in addition to my research job, I also had a leadership job…and I wasn’t prepared for that.
This book is the guide I wish I’d had then, with the goal of helping others now.

I’m working on a talk about applying to PhD Programs during the next cycle. I was wondering, do you know of any potential changes due to cuts in federal funding? Is there anything that applicants should be doing differently for this cycle? Thank you! 🤍
