A couple of weeks back, my friend Deedra came to DC to stay with Carlos and me. This was a working trip as she and I are working together on an OTS project assessing how OTS-style courses and research experiences have led to the recruitment and retention of underrepresented groups in scientific careers. We worked a bit at the apartment (creating a cool Entity Relationship Diagram showing the interconnectivity of our data) before driving down to Durham, North Carolina to meet with people at the OTS North American offices at Duke University.
While in NC, we stayed with some friends of Deedra's (from her grad student days) and they had such a great house out in the country. We house-sat and kitty-sat while they left for vacation.
Overall, this was a very productive trip which left us energized and optimistic about the state of the project!
