Dr. Gina Fernandez was accepted into the 2018 Class of Mentoring Institute for Neuroscience Diversity Scholars (MINDS), which is funded by the NIH (specifically, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke). The focus of the mentorship program is to increase the visibility and success of minority neuroscientists in both academia and industry. Over the next year, she will have the opportunities to participate in various related activities including a 3-day workshop in May and sponsored attendance to the 2018 Annual Society of Neuroscience meeting in November.
Congratulations to Dr. Fernandez on this great achievement!
