Today marked one of the scariest and most exciting days in my academic career. I officially completed my PhD dissertation defense. It is extremely hard to put into words the variety of emotions that I feel. I want to thank everyone with all of my heart for their words of encouragement and constant support throughout my time in the PhD program. Thank you to all of my family and friends!! #phd #phdlife #science #sciencelife #newyorkmedicalcollege #pharmacology #biology #20HETE Many thanks to @fiveprimeart and @dianapnsantiago for the wonderful photos!!! ⚡️🐯⚡️
