Summer update 2023

The fall semester started this week and reminded me that I have not done a data dump in a long time. The lab has been busy since the last update – this time last year. It is amazing how time flies.

Education

The new thing this year is that we have added Group Peer Review to the list of activities for PhD students. This is a great way to get balanced and deep reviews on manuscripts. We have students from diverse academic backgrounds that provide excellent insight. We wish more editors would allow this sort of review.

We have worked with the APHL and the UDHHS to enable fellowships for 2nd year MS students. This is a really great opportunity to get involved in public health. They also have online internships.

The NLM trainees joined me at Stanford for the training grant meeting. It is always good to meet peers.

Honors

I became a fellow of the American College of Medical Informatics. This involved a trip to Puerto Rico. The best thing was putting a slide deck together that mentioned everyone who contributed to my journey.
