May was an exciting month for us. Several of our members attended the AWSM luncheon at Jazz at Lincoln Center, where the food was good, and the ambiance truly awesome. Each year MWI gives a grant to AWSM (Advancing Women in Science and Medicine.) It was so gratifying to feel the energy among these scientists, and to meet some of our previous recipients and see how their careers are progressing.
We were also fortunate to meet the recipient of our 2022 grant. Her name is Debra Morrison, and she is an assistant investigator within the Institute of Molecular Medicine at the Feinstein Institutes. Dr. Morrison's research focus, and what our grant will support, is understanding changes in the immune system after traumatic spinal cord injury.
We look forward to having Dr. Morrison meet with our members at a later date when we will hear about her research in greater detail.
