The Hertz fellowship applications are open for this year. I strongly encourage any US based graduate students (permanent residents or citizens) starting their PhDs to apply. Hertz made a giant difference in my research career by introducing me to scientists working in chemistry, biology, and physics as I started my research career. As a math/cs major in undergraduate, I had little understanding then about the natural sciences, but having Hertz’s independent funding gave me the impetus to work with a lab in chemistry/biophysics for my PhD.
