“How can I do all of this justice in 900 words?”: R&D with PhD Candidate Robin Aguilar
Description
On Episode 7 of Rosé and DNA, we got to hang out with Robin Aguilar! Robin is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle, where they are an NSF Fellow (impressive). Robin's research focuses on creating tools and technologies to image satellite DNA. We had the pleasure of connecting with Robin after reading their incredibly important Career Column in Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00521-1
As a first-generation, queer, non-binary, and disabled scientist, a lot of Robin's work outside of the lab focuses on providing support and connection for folks of marginalized identities in and out of STEM. They also are an artist and writer. To learn more about their work, art, and mission, check out their website at robinaguilar.com!
