Erika and I was honored to be the first FFAR fellows from Iowa State University, and we are excited about this opportunity. However, it is a possibility that some may not be aware of the existence of such opportunities or the numerous benefits they can provide. Here, I've outlined key highlights to encourage you to consider applying for the FFAR fellowship (2024 – 2027 Cohort). https://lnkd.in/ewe2zUJZ 1.      Master the Skills: Gain the essential skills for success in industry, academia, and NGOs. 2.      Diverse Connections: Join a vibrant community of past and current fellows, building unique connections with budding scientists across different fields. 3.      Personalized Mentoring: Access mentors from various sectors (Industry, Academia, NGO, and Government). 4.      Career Trajectory: Develop a Professional Development Plan with mentors tracking your progress, setting your career on a promising path. 5.      Stipend+: Receive a stipend (if applying for that category). 6.      Communication Mastery: Learn science communication that transforms your approach, a game-changer in any career. 7.      Self-Discovery: Uncover your core skills and strengths through assessments (DISC + EI + Gallup Clifton). 8.      Networking Seminars: Engage in regular seminars connecting you to professionals across diverse fields. 9.      Sponsored Trips: Enjoy sponsored residential sessions (location-dependent) with covered expenses, including accommodation and meals. 10.  360-Degree Leadership: Develop comprehensive leadership skills; because all you will learn converges to empower you as a well-rounded leader. Application closes February 22 for the Stipend + Professional Development Category and April 15 for the Professional Development Category PS: If you are completing your Master's and transitioning to a Ph.D., it's worth considering. Starting your Ph.D. on this note is invaluable. While the core focus is typically on ag and food-related disciplines, in both my cohort and previous cohort, we've had individuals from Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Systems Engineering. If your research aligns with one of FFAR’s challenge areas, you should definitely explore the possibility of applying.

Well done,

Your GCSE results don't define you - in the same way my choice of football team doesn't define me 😉 To all of my young kings and queens receiving your exam results today- remember that these grades are just one chapter in your life’s story. They don’t capture the whole of who you are, or the incredible potential you have to shape your future! Whether your results are what you hoped for or not, you need to know that there are countless paths to success, and this is just the beginning of your journey. Your dreams, determination, and resilience will carry you far beyond any exam paper. Success is not defined by a single moment or grade, but by how you grow, adapt, and pursue your passions. Life is full of opportunities to learn, create, and make a difference in ways that go far beyond academics. Keep believing in yourself, stay focused on your goals, and trust that you have the strength to overcome any challenge. The world needs your unique voice and talents—keep shining, no matter what!
