| Early Career Leadership — Emma Powell |
Powell's research centers around characterizing an unknown kinase in yeast that is responsive to nutrient changes in the cell and may be involved in regulating carbohydrate biosynthesis. As Co-chair of the Policy Subcommittee, she looks forward to leading their team in building resources that provide GSA members with opportunities to learn more about science policy and build their advocacy skills.
