- thanks for sharing this language from NIGMS! def going to incorporate in guidance to my IC's future applicants 🙌🏽
- my pet peeve as a reviewer: grant apps that state the trainee or ECR *is going to* create an IDP to use later during the project period. ummm why not create the IDP FIRST then write a detailed training/career dev plan that actually incorporates the identified needs/gap areas???

- grateful for the spaces i get to occupy 🙏🏽 spaces where i dont have to hide or shrink or use a small voice spaces where i am welcomed to show up whole and true and uninhibited
- im away at a conference so unable to attend todays NINDS Director’s Award Ceremony but so thankful to my colleagues Drs. Ana E & Jenny K for nominating me for this award 🙏🏽 🥹 i hit the colleague jackpot & feel empowered to embark on my new journey as “supervisor”
