, by DCEG Staff
Postdoctoral fellow Maisa Pinheiro, Ph.D., and postbaccalaureate fellow Edmundo Torres Gonzalez, have been selected to serve as co-chairs of the DCEG Fellows Committee (DFel) in 2018. DFel was created in 2011 to enhance the intramural training experience of fellows within the Division. Open to all DCEG fellows, DFel meetings are scheduled for the fourth Wednesday of every month.
Edmundo Torres-Gonzalez, Tamara Litwin, Raquel Velazquez-Kronen, Maisa Pinheiro, and Erik Willis
Predoctoral fellow Raquel Velazquez-Kronen, M.S., and postdoctoral fellow Erik Willis, Ph.D., M.P.H., are now co-Editors-in-Chief of the DCEG Fellows Editorial Board (DFEB). The DFEB serves other fellows by providing timely feedback on the grammar, organization, and flow of scientific manuscripts.
Postdoctoral fellow Tamara Litwin, Ph.D., M.P.H., is now a co-chair of the Career Development Seminar Series (CDSS) planning committee. In conjunction with trainees from other NCI Divisions, DCEG fellows on the committee organize monthly seminars focused on career development topics for junior investigators in population sciences. These topics include strengthening skills in teaching, job package preparation, and strategic career planning.
