@mycotropic Thank you! I appreciate your offer. I'll take a deep dive into all the resources that you've mentioned so far and check back in with you.

@mycotropic Oh, I'm not on it yet (I just started a new project on Long COVID) and I do plan to work on COVID and HIV for my dissertation. I will look at the eligibility for my project and see if I can be a part of it. Thanks so much.

@SRLevine Oh, and yes. It's the US.

@SRLevine Hey, thank you so much for this!! I will definitely be looking into these resources.

@LucillaPiccari Wow! That's shocking. I think your thesis tribunal equivalent is the dissertation committee in the US. For us, we get to pick out committee members. We work with them every step of the way (some more closely than others) and at the end they are part of the panel that grades your defense. As such, if I'm picking someone who is that important to my career, I was t to meet with you at least once in the process before the defense! That would be my (and many others) preference.
