In today’s spotlight of #HumansofOISS, we’re featuring Rafael. He is originally from the South of Brazil and is currently a PhD candidate in Physiology in the Gracheva lab. His research focuses on the neuronal mechanisms underlying puberty in hibernating ground squirrels.
Meet Adaolisa from Nigeria, our spotlight for this week’s #HumansOfOISS!
Adaolisa is a Master student in International and Development Economics, marking her inaugural experience studying abroad. Her adaptability in a new country is truly remarkable. In just two days, she tackled settling into her new life - from household essentials to a new phone number, bank account, and grocery shopping. It’s a stark contrast to my initial struggles when I arrived in New Haven, grappling with unfamiliar transport, jet lag, and the maze of grocery stores.
Happy Friday everyone! #humansofoiss this week, let me introduce Antimo Lucarelli from Department of Philosophy ;-)
1. Could you share a memorable moment from your first day on Yale’s campus
When I arrived and saw Yale’s campus for my first time, I was overwhelmed by how effective it is in communicating the glorious calm of education and research. I think that is the highest effect a university can hope to achieve to foster students’ aspirations. Yale’s colleges, libraries and spaces appeared to me the perfect place to study.
Today’s #humansofoiss will be to introduce you to another new member of the OISS team - Jeffrey! Jeffrey has lived in various cities throughout the United States including Dallas, TX and Denver, CO. Jeffrey is originally from Oxford, CT and is happy to have landed back home here in CT. If he isn’t spending time with his dog “Alder”, you can catch him chilling on the beach in Rhode Island or skiing down a mountain in Vermont. Some of his favorite things are the color sky blue, playing volleyball, traveling, and his favorite sport is volleyball.
