Celebrating the life and mourning the passing of Dr. Sam Katz. Although he was as big as giants get in science & medicine, he made me feel seen, known, and appreciated as a trainee and young faculty member. The impacts his life had on our world are mind boggling. @Duke_Childrens
For all young scientists (<7 years post PhD) apply for one of these awards! Great oppertunity, also to present you exciting work at the 9th #ESWI conference And for all young scientist at heart, forward this information :)
