Today’s the day. It’s wild to think 6 years of work all comes down to defending my PhD today. Nervous, excited, and really proud of everything this journey has taken to get here. 🤍

I have always struggle with asking questions at scientific talks. Is this a stupid question? Did they talk about this and I completely missed it? But there’s no such thing as a stupid question! And if you’re brave, your thoughtful question might be recognized! 🤗 🧠✨
