A key part of our commitment to diversity at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute is fostering a community of scientists from unique backgrounds and academic experiences. The Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for Academic Diversity program funds talented researchers and educators from different backgrounds, races, ethnic groups, and other diverse populations. This Q&A series offers a chance to meet these scholars, learn more about their research interests, what diversity in science means to them, and how they enjoy spending their time outside of work.
