The GSA Travel Award allowed me to travel to Whistler, BC and present my thesis work at an international Keystone Symposia conference on Cancer Immunotherapy. Presenting to a crowd of ~650 researchers was my largest oral presentation of my PhD and was a fantastic learning experience that would not have been possible without the help of GSA. Presenting at the conference resulted in a new collaboration with an industry partner and networking opportunities for possible job offers.
