In the ER with dad, I went to the bathroom and a code was called, I have never prayed so hard not to hear the number 82

Yesterday afternoon, scientists across Harvard Chan School learned the government had abruptly terminated their research. Nearly every single one of the school's direct federal grants was terminated. 132 100 173 HARVARD T.H. CHAN SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH

Honored to receive this recognition by Leaders in Healthcare as the 2025 Rising Star Woman in Healthcare.

Gracias Totales!
