From Dr. Bernstorff

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for being selected as a recipient of the 2024 MTF International Travel Award. This recognition has had a profound impact on both my professional development and personal growth, and I am pleased to share my thoughts on this invaluable experience.

As a International Travel Award Recipient, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the 2024 ACMT Annual Scientific Meeting in Washington, D.C. this year. One of the most rewarding aspects of this experience was the chance to present my work to a diverse and knowledgeable audience. The feedback and encouragement I received have inspired me to pursue new and exciting directions in my career. Moreover, the connections I made during this event have already begun to yield collaborative opportunities that I believe will be highly beneficial in the future.

I am profoundly grateful to the members and donors of the MTF whose generosity made this opportunity possible. Their support underscores the importance of fostering the development of emerging professionals and highlights the positive impact that such programs can have on our community. The travel award has not only alleviated financial constraints but has also affirmed my commitment to contributing to our field and to the broader scientific community.

In conclusion, being a 2024 International Travel Award recipient has been a transformative experience that I will carry forward in my professional journey. I extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone at MTF for their dedication to supporting young professionals and for making such impactful programs available.

Thank you once again for this incredible honor.
