"The AFCI fellowship has given me many
contacts in the national labs and in
government which I would not otherwise
have had. Through the fully funded AFCI
trips to Washington D.C. and an American
Nuclear Society conference, I was able to
meet many key influential individuals in
the nuclear research industry in addition
to meeting even more people who wanted
to aid my thesis research." |
