A huge congratulations to an awesome mentor!! 🎉

Came back from vacation to find out that I’ve been matched with a Pre-Scientist for the second year in a row! Looking forward to talking about board games, space, and computers with my pen pal this year 😁

I’m looking forward to #ASHG22 next week! If you’ll be there, come check out my poster (PB2777) on contrasting patterns of positive selection at P. falciparum and P. vivax associated loci in Oman!

#ASHG22 was a blast. I enjoyed meeting so many people, discussing science, learning about careers, and exploring LA. Can’t wait for next year!
