"  Over the past year, Sub-Stances has explored the world through different lenses. We've shared recipes from Georgia and Portugal, given you our thoughts on the French presidential election and tried to open your eyes to the world of mental health. As we've explored the world over the past few years, the places we have called home have also changed. We are no longer just graduate students, but young motivated and successful women aiming to make change locally, nationally, and globally. Sub-Stances will now act as our virtual portfolio, where we will share our stories, experiences and pass along information that we've learned to inspire you to dig deeper, and look beyond past the surface. Due to our individual lives and personal commitments, Sub-Stances will no longer post on a weekly basis, but rather intermittently when we have time. We also want to offer Sub-Stances as a platform for our expertise and experiences and are available as experts on any of the topics listed above. "
