Today's the first day of classes @UMich and #Iguess I'm officially a 3rd year Ph.D. student. I have to say, reaching candidacy is the best - no classes for me 💃🏾💃🏾.
*BUT* this week I'm working on drafting my first first author paper & officially forming my thesis committee.

It was really important for me to form a diverse committee with respect to expertise and cultural background. I also wanted to make sure that I see myself reflected in the scientists who will help shape my dissertation.
Since my work focuses on developing therapy to treat #arrhythmia and #LongQTsyndrome (basically when your heart is beating abnormally), I was adamant about having a physician scientist with training in #cardiovascular research.
It's cool to propose translating bench science to actual therapies in humans, but the #MD perspective is essential in helping us have a better understanding of what that process entails and what's truly feasible. 😁😁
