Meredith Schmehl, PhD

In a time that has been challenging for science, I've found it helpful to focus on doing the best work I can to move science forward. On that note, I'm happy to share that I've started a new position as the first #OpenScience Strategy Program Coordinator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI)!
