Events
As a faculty member on the medical campus, the Incubator Unbound series provides an engaging forum for connecting with Danforth campus faculty. I particularly enjoyed the “Resilience and Hope" session, in which faculty from anthropology, social work, and neuropsychology spoke on a broad range of topics, including children’s mental health, forced migration, and the challenges of training in science today. Unbound not only offers shared insights and expertise; it also showcases the transformative nature of genuine storytelling about our faculty's research, both in the U.S. and globally. These conversations offer renewed energy and ideas for life, as well as opportunities to connect and collaborate with fellow attendees through shared values and vision.
