Hi Eleanor!

This is fascinating! I am blown away by the depth of your research and your understanding of Yan's work. I am especially interested in your analysis of Yan's trial and error approach, and the extent to which he has an intellectual history to work off of versus adjusting it to fit an entirely new context. I am so excited to read your paper!

Hi Lauren!

I definitely agree with your assessment that leaders have many facets and personally relate to exhibiting too much Maya and Rowan in the past. I also really sympathized with feeling young in these research settings and am very inspired by the way you have reframed your leadership in the lab environment. I know that your colleagues appreciate your insights and embrace of more amicable or expressive leadership!!

Hi Phoebe!

I really appreciated your insights about practicing leadership in a research setting. I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment that a leader is someone who brings new approaches to a research space, encouraging others to look at a problem from various angles and that risk-taking is essential to new and exciting research.

Hi Karthik! I completely relate to your feelings regarding the literature review. I've personally been overwhelmed by the amount of work that has been done in adjacent areas, and taking into account their perspectives while developing my own. I also really appreciate your insight into how consumer marketing and public health are interrelated and am super excited to learn more about your insights into this field. If Laidlaw has taught me anything, its that all of our fields are far more interconnected than I previously thought!

I'm so excited to see your results!
