Had the opportunity to give a short talk about my research from the past 1.5 years. My first time presenting at a data blitz and I loved it!! #UFCARE

My follow-Friday suggestion: Alexa-Rae Wheeler is a brilliant undergrad I’ve had the privilege of mentoring, and she’s currently looking for PhD programs in nuero. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a student! She’s going to do great things, so 🗣FOLLOW HER🗣

My interest in becoming a scientist stemmed from the incredible mentors in my life and influences around me. It’s more important than you think!!!

The PhD application process has been grueling, but it’s extremely rewarding and motivating to hear back about interviews so quickly. Looking forward to recruitment weekends next semester!!

Never thought I’d be able to learn so much science through Twitter. Pretty sweet that we can share knowledge so quickly and easily💃 #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

Going through my first week of grad school! The pandemic is really helping me realize that the dual monitor set-up is a must for this #GradChat

Research by FLORIDA neuroscientists suggests male & female sex hormones may influence risk-taking inclinations & ability to delay gratification in rats — could help guide development of treatment approaches for conditions i.e., substance use disorders. bit.ly/30b9mir
