Thank you to all of the wonderful mentors, family, friends, and organizations that have helped me get here, including Chris Walsh, David Kingsley, Jeff Macklis, Vibhu Sahni, @leadingedgeprogram.bsky.social, HHWF, NIMH, among many others. I can't wait to get started!
I will be at SfN, the Comparative and Evolutionary Neurobiology Lake Conference, and ASHG this fall. Harvard HEB will also be holding a virtual open house for prospective grad students in late Oct. DM me and let's find a time to chat!
We will be recruiting at all levels. Please reach out if you are passionate about questions at the intersection of human biology, evolution, genetics, or neuroscience.
I'm so excited to announce that the Song lab will be opening in Harvard's Human Evolutionary Biology department in July 2025! We will investigate the genetic basis of how the human brain evolved. 🧬🧠 janetsonglab.com
