On December 4-5, 2023, #NewVoices member Dr. Umut A. Gurkan (Cohort 2021-2023) co-organized the workshop “On Leading a Lab: Strengthening Scientific Leadership in Responsible Research.” The event addressed the evolving roles of research leaders, particularly those overseeing cross-disciplinary and multi-institutional teams. Participants engaged in discussions on challenges such as research integrity, data management, open science, mentorship, and technology. As an active lab leader, Dr. Gurkan brought a unique perspective to the workshop, contributing to meaningful conversations about the responsibilities of leading innovative science. The proceedings, which summarize the presentations and discussions, are now available. 📖 Read them here: https://ow.ly/2x4Z50Umuow #ScientificLeadership #ResearchIntegrity #NewVoices

It’s that wonderful time of the year when the 2024 US Nobel laureates gather in Washington, DC for a symposium at the house of Sweden, followed by a luncheon at the National Academy of Sciences. The symposium started with insightful remarks by National Academy of Sciences President Dr. Marcia McNutt, followed by a thought-provoking panel and discussion. This year’s Nobel prize winners were engaging, warm, and funny! The conversation about how science and technology can better serve the working class and undeserved communities in the U.S. and across the world was particularly timely. Grateful to the Swedish embassy and the National Academies for including our Mirzayan, New Voices NASEM and Frontiers alumni. Check out the recording of the symposium:

#NewVoices member Lisa Rotenstein (Cohort 2024-26) presented at the National Academy of Medicine Primary Care Interest Group Session on #AI and the Changing Face of Primary Care.
