"This J-WAFS Seed Grant was one of the first grants that I received when I started my lab and it has had a huge impact on helping me get my research program off the ground…My training is in geosciences and molecular microbiology, so much of the work, for example around water quality, has been new to me and has absolutely shaped the way that I think about my own research. Overall, this has been a very important and influential grant for us!”
