This week we celebrate Thanksgiving, and so we are taking this Tuesday Touch Base to share with you a few things we are especially thankful for this year.
‌
Thankful for...
Lolahon Kadiri, one of the three founding members of amplifyHERscience, has moved on from Yale for a new opportunity at UMass Chan Medical School. Although we will miss her immensely, we are grateful for her contributions and friendship. Building one another up and supporting each other on our individual journeys is a cornerstone of what amplifyHERscience is about. Best of luck, Lola, on your next professional adventure and we will see you soon!
This amplifyHERscience community, which has grown in size and enthusiasm these last 18 months since our launch. The support and dedication of the team and community has resulted in a never-before-achieved number of women who will present at this year's Yale Lifesciences PitchFest event. More than 40% of the lineup is comprised of women founders. Numbers don't lie! Congratulations to you all as you take the virtual stage on December 3rd, and don't forget to RSVP!
