“I am very grateful for the support of the Joseph B. Platt Chair in Effective Teaching. The support has supplemented my research in ways that have not only progressed my work, but have fruitfully impacted the opportunities that I can offer students at HMC.”
Danae Schulz

“Donor support was incredibly helpful in allowing me to perform a few experiments in the fall of 2020 [despite the COVID-19 pandemic]. Although these experiments were not the ones I had originally planned on that required student support, they were vital for (1) establishing a new collaboration aimed at identifying new therapeutic drugs for trypanosomiasis and (2) piloting some of the projects that I had proposed in my grant applications. I also am so grateful for the donor support that allowed my student to attend an online parasitology conference. When I spoke with my student afterward, she was very happy to have had the experience of presenting her work to an international cadre of experts.”
