**Hey everyone!** 👋 It's been a while, and I wanted to give you an update on what I've been up to lately. The past couple of weeks have been incredibly busy. I'm thrilled to share that I am now a council member on the [**NEAR Research Collective DAO**](https://near.social/astraplusplus.ndctools.near/widget/home?tab=members&daoId=research-collective.sputnik-dao.near&page=dao). Additionally, I've had the opportunity to publish articles on [**Marma J Foundation Website**](https://marmaj.org/). I've been actively engaging with the [community](https://t.me/ResearchWG), working to create a positive and welcoming environment. This includes responding to user comments, questions, and concerns, as well as scheduling calls for [**The NEAR Certified Researcher Course**](https://marmaj.org/events/near-certified-researcher-course/) and [**Weekly Insights Forum**](https://marmaj.org/events/near-research-collective-weekly-insights-forum/), and I've been an active participant in those calls. On the social media front, I've been regularly posting tweets to keep the community informed and engaged. I've also been spreading the word about **NRC** in other **Telegram** channels to expand our reach. In addition to these responsibilities, I've been actively participating in the @research-collective.sputnik-dao.near by [voting on proposals](https://near.social/astraplusplus.ndctools.near/widget/home?tab=proposals&daoId=research-collective.sputnik-dao.near&page=dao) and collaborating with the other council members. All of this is happening while I manage my school commitments and continue volunteering with other organizations. It's been a juggling act, and there's probably more that I've forgotten to mention!🚀📚👥 *Here's to continued learning, growth, and exciting developments ahead!* 🥂
