As the current NICHD Basic Sciences Institutes and Centers (IC) Representative, I represent NICHD postdoctoral fellows at the NIH Fellows Committee (FelCom) meeting every month and share the latest news with you here. Do you have a concern or question that you want brought up at the next meeting? Contact me, Hyo Won Ahn, at hyowon.ahn@nih.gov.
The Health & Recreation Subcommittee is continuing to organize upcoming social events. They have also set up a new Slack channel for affinity groups, where you can share events with fellow trainees. For more information on these events, join the Slack channel with a non-NIH email or contact the committee chair, Dr. Tiffany Zarella, postdoctoral PRAT fellow, at tiffany.zarrella@nih.gov.
The Visiting Fellows Committee has several open positions: VFC Secretary, VFC Social Committee, and VFC Representative and Visibility Coordinator. If you are interested in any of these positions, please email Dr. Harrison Daly (harrison.daly@nih.gov) or Dr. Aditi Chaurasia (aditi.chaurasia@nih.gov). You do not need to be a visiting fellow to participate!
The Career Development Subcommittee will be taking a summer break from their monthly career seminar series during June and July. Keep an eye out for future sessions resuming in August.
Wishing you all the best!
