Letter from the Editor: January 2021

On November 13, NICHD DIR and DIPHR scientists convened, virtually, to share their latest research endeavors at the 2020 Scientific Retreat. I was blown away with the number of fellows who volunteered to write about the event. Thank you, so much, to the many postbacs and postdocs who contributed recaps of the day’s presentations. As an editor, I enjoy the diverse perspectives on current research. Join me in revisiting the 2020 Scientific Retreat!

One of the retreat presenters, Dr. Annie Martini, talks about why she pursued a reproductive endocrinology career in this month’s “Clinical Corner” column. Her favorite moments at the NICHD are heartwarming.

Looking forward, for fellows who are considering funding mechanisms, Dr. Aisha Burton shares a snapshot of the annual NICHD Office of Education Grant Writing Workshop. And, finally, don’t forget to visit our January announcements and events, complete with some exciting opportunities this year.

Happy New Year to all!

Your Editor in Chief,
