About

Welcome to my blog! I’m Isabelle (Izzy) Hipple, a first-year PhD student in the Development, Disease Models, and Therapeutics program at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. I recently graduated from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, where I fell in love with biomedical research and decided to pursue a career in science. In this blog, you’ll find everything from reflections on my everyday life as a woman in graduate school to my insights into the world of research. Whether you’re considering a PhD yourself or just curious about my life as a scientist, I hope you can learn a thing or two from my experiences. I’m so excited to share this next big step with you!
