Submitting all of these applications during the first year of graduate school is a success in and of itself. Great work, Marvin, on putting yourself out there and taking chances!

[RAD Lab (Research in Adolescent Depression Lab) @radlabumn]

Join us in congratulating the ever-humble Marvin (@MarvinLYan, 1st year RAD Lab graduate student) on his many successes this Spring! 👏

Marvin was awarded TWO graduate fellowships and was admitted to the Minneapolis VA Service to Science Scholars Research Program this Summer 🤩

Then in 2024, Marvin will be one of the first graduate fellows in the MnDRIVE Fellowship in Neuromodulation. Through this fellowship, Marvin will extend his work on multi-modal identification of self-harm correlates to correlates of treatment response among depressed adolescents.
