Almost nothing surprises these days, but recently Bailey C. Sarka, PhD made me audibly gasp 🫢 She launched Stellate Communications' first newsletter & I wasn’t expecting much knowing a VERY GOOD one has a ~35% open rate... 🔥 𝗕𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘆’𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝟳𝟬% 🔥

There are many fundraisers for the LA fires, but if you haven’t found one yet, please consider donating to rebuild Oak Knoll Montessori. It was the school of Stellate Communications' clare reynell's daughter. My heart breaks for the teachers, staff & families 💔 gofundme.com/f/lomaalta-eat…

Deeply honored to receive the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers #PECASE. Thanks to the NIH funding and my incredible team who make our work pushing the boundaries of NeuroAI possible🧠🤖 whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda…
