OMG YES! congrats @natashaobrown.bsky.social on getting FH!!! Hopefully we can have a BBB meet up at a Science Meeting 👀🧠

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.

#introductions:
I'm Kimberly Bennett, a PhD Candidate in Medical Engineering @ MIT developing microvascular models of the blood-brain-tumor barrier and probing nanocarrier delivery to pediatric brain tumors in the Hammond & Straehla labs. Proudly #firstgen, and excited to connect with others here!

late to this but would love to join!
