Service Fellows Stories

“I have always been passionate about both basic scientific research and increasing access to STEM education, and I believe this program will help me further integrate those passions as I continue into new roles post graduation.”

“Considering how academic research can serve communities can be challenging, but learning and doing so with a group of peers was incredibly rewarding.”

“The entirety of my PhD has centered on community-engaged engineering, so I frequently call on the methods, theories, etc. I learned in the program to engage most effectively with my community partners.”

“In my current work identifying policy solutions for the inclusion of pregnant and lactating people in clinical trials, the frameworks that I learned in PSF were helpful in considering the stakeholders that we wanted to include.”
