@drdre4000 Yikes! Hope you made it wherever you were headed.

[Dr. Jane Couperus 🧠🏳️‍🌈 @CouperusJane]

@OdedRechavi I side stepped out into alt ac just about a year ago. I was a Full Prof with an ongoing grant (still going and still co-PI). I’m in institutional research now and loving the new challenges.
