T32: Mechanisms and Innovation in Vascular Disease

Congratulations to Stephanie Lindsey on her appointment as Assistant Professor in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at UCSD with a courtesy appointment in Bioengineering! Stephanie was a fellow in our "Mechanisms and Innovation in Vascular Disease" training program and her research will focus on biomechanics and congenital heart defects. She'll be starting July 2021!

The Cardiovascular Institute's T32 Training Program Grant: "Mechanisms and Innovation in Vascular Disease" was officially awarded! This award helps us train postdoctoral fellows pursuing cardiovascular research and prepare them to launch their careers. And we're currently accepting applications! https://med.stanford.edu/cvi/education/mechanisms-and-innovations-t32.html

 

Scout "salute" to Stanford Health Care front line workers

Menlo Park Scout Troup 565 decided to do something for the community during the coronavirus pandemic.  They wanted to find a way to support local businesses that are struggling, and recognize the heroes that are keeping us safe, by redirecting money they had raised from popcorn sales this year. 

Using the money they had raised, the troup was able to deliver 30 meals to ancillary staff at Stanford Health Care (janitors, security, patient transport, etc) who are often overlooked, but are of course ciritially important. In an overwhelming show of support, more than 100 cars along with a police escort delivered the meals to SHC staff.
