At the end of this summer, I’ll be moving to the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University. And I’ll finally start my Freeman Hrabowski Fellowship with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), which I’ve written about before. I want to reflect and say a bit on what this means to me, and I will do that in a future blog post.
