Testimonials
This is a total fan letter. The newsletter is absolutely fabulous! I almost always end up forwarding it to colleagues or to my former PhD students who are now early in faculty positions and a couple early career faculty I mentor at other universities. I have also used some articles for my Prosem 1 class for entering doc students. The articles are great, innovative and accurate ( in my experience). Thank you so much for putting these newsletters and articles together! Keep them coming! Hope you are getting lots of KUDOS!

~ Cutting Edge Newsletter Reader

I submitted my K99 to the NIH yesterday, so I wanted to reach out and thank you all for the excellent suggestions and critiques provided as part of the Edge for Scholars Study Section. I was able to address most of the critiques, and I really think they strengthened my research proposal. The EFS review was a really great opportunity, and I'm so glad I participated. Thank you all for your time and effort in reviewing for this program.
