As Dr. McBride said, "These posters do a wonderful job to highlight, showcase, and reflect the themes of justice, equity, contributing to our health and humanity."
Posters from 6+ units in @purduehhs.bsky.social, @purdueaaarcc.bsky.social, #purdue, and more!
As Dr. McBride, Associate Dean for Research, underscored, "As we go through some [funding] changes, it strikes me as particularly important that we highlight, for both our peers and the general public, how and why research matters - it always matters for the greater good..."
Dr. Loudermill's idea is based on the Preamble of the US Constitution that identifies common goals for the people of this nation. Those goals address establishing Justice, forming a more perfect Union, promoting the general WElfare of people, and Liberty being Secured for generations to come.
As part of @purduehhs.bsky.social Life Inspired Week, Juwels for Posterity poster session (led by Dr. Chenell Loudermill) was organized to highlight the outstanding work that impacts humanity based on rigorous science and authentic engagement.
We had a great turnout & 20 posters were presented!
As I would usually say on Twitter when GRFP results are announced: You're not a failure if you didn't get it! *MANY* (if not most) incredible researchers did not get the GRFP!! If you received one, you totally deserve it and CONGRATS!!!! If you didn't, welcome to the club of many rejections 😎
