Absolutely heartbreaking to see MARC U-STAR and U-RISE programs showing up on terminated grants lists. I owe my entire life to MARC U-STAR.

As early-career researchers, our futures are at stake and it’s quite weird how the people in the positions we aspire to be in are not defending us and the scientific enterprise. If you are defending us, we'd love some transparency! Let us help! It's OUR futures!

Kimberly and her mentor Paula Hammond unveiling new gallery artwork displayed now at MIT of her research image of a blood brain barrier model.

Award for image titled "Navigating the Brain Space: One Chip at a Time"

Image of the plaque hung on the wall describing Kimberly's image and research goals (too long to transcribe here).

Kimberly presenting her flash talk to the general public to describe the story behind her image.

achieved an exciting science milestone: my image is currently displayed on the walls of MIT! feels a little surreal seeing my name on a plaque, but so thankful for my mentors, labmates, the @mitkochinstitute.bsky.social, and the patients & families that we do this work for.
