"Look within yourself to identify your core values." Wise words of advice for early-career #PhysicianScientists from Lasker President @drclairepomeroy.bsky.social. ⬇️
🧪 From #JointMeeting2026: As my career advanced, I realized there are different opportunities at different points in your career. You try to match up your goals with the ability to achieve those goals. Sometimes it means you have to change institutions, change jobs. Be open to those opportunities.
