I'm at a breaking point. I'm intensely passionate about neuroscience & mentorship. I yearn for the day I have a lab that inspires scientists from all walks of life to pursue their wildest dreams, but I greatly fear I'm unfit for academia if it requires me to be any bit dishonest.

📢 It’s time again to apply for the Rising Black Scientist Award: Each winner will receive a $10,000 award and $500 in travel funds from Cell Signaling Technology and Cell Press cell.com/diversity/awar… undergrad, grad, or postdoc are encouraged to apply!

Such an exciting experience!! I'm beyond blessed to have such wonderful mentorship and support!! 🙏🥰 Truly can't wait for all the exciting discoveries the future holds. 💉🧠🔬👩‍🔬

People will really do anything to deny, excuse, or downplay antisemitism (usually by engaging in antisemitism).

If you're at SfN and interested in inhibitory circuitry relevant to sensorimotor gating, stop on by and say hi! It's my first time at SfN and I'm ecstatic to meet you and share my exciting discoveries! #GABA #sensorimotorgating #5HT #serotonin #PPI #prepulseinhibition

Presenting my poster this morning at Society for Neuroscience (SfN) #SfN22 !! Come by to hear me talk about the GABAergic contribution to sensorimotor gating in the brainstem and the role serotonin might play in modulating that circuitry!

🤯🧠🙏🥰

It was an absolute dream to get to spend time with such a beautifully talented extended research family 🥰 very grateful for the opportunity and enriching experience 🧠💕

Hey y’all! I’m doing a study for kids 5-12 on kids’s beliefs about interactions between authority figures (e.g., police or firefighters) and peers from different social groups (e.g., race and gender). Please share and lmk if u have questions!!! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@Lola_UMich And when the "prestige" non sense will end? If we acknowledge that excellent science comes from anywhere, we would avoid a lot of these disparities

Back from the fantastic Miami Winter Symposium #MWS2023, where I presented the work of my wonderful team and met outstanding scientists🤓✈️Sharing the stage with Nobel Prize Laureates 🍾, women role models 👏 🥹 and introduced as a “🇨🇦-🇭🇹 neuroscientist", was priceless!

Had a wonderful time presenting for E.A.R.S. yesterday. Thanks again to the selection and organizing committee for allowing me to present my research in the Fenelon Lab. 🧠🐁

Today I am reflecting on those who have helped me to find wisdom and strength in my vulnerability as I continue to forge my life's path. Here's to one year sober. Day by day, may I make the choices that lead me to many more years of freedom.

Looking for a wonderful team to learn from and wanting to contribute to a fascinating and important area of research? Look no further! I owe much of my research development to the Neurotrauma lab who nurtured and strengthened my independence as a neuroscientist. 🧠💪

Our new study is now published at Nature Biotechnology as open access. What is in it? Online Whole-Body Mouse Atlases, tertiary lymphatic structures (TLS) in the whole mouse along cancer, and more. Meet wildDISCO, thread 👇🏼 nature.com/articles/s4158…
