In June, the Salk Alumni Program presented a live virtual panel, featuring four Salk alumni who shared their experiences on pursuing academic and industry careers with current Salk scientists. The panelists included Nikoosh Carlo, CEO of CNC North Consulting LLC; Mirella Dottori, associate professor at Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute, University of Wollongong; Pablo Hollstein, an oncology research scientist at Amgen, Thousand Oaks, California; and Christopher Howard, assistant professor of neuroscience at Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio.

In addition to events such as this, the Salk Alumni Program, supported by the Alumni-Faculty Fellowship Fund, has awarded the prestigious Alumni-Faculty Fellowship to a talented postdoctoral scholar at Salk the last nine years.
