We are very excited that IAEL Ph. D. student won the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Gilliam Fellowship!
The Gilliam fellowship provides a three year fellowship award to Erika, funds for her professional development, tuition and fees, and $4k to me to promote “underrepresented student groups in the life sciences at the graduate level”.
Here is a nice article about Erika written by CALS communications officer Rachel Leslie.
