INCREDIBLY INSPIRED after the Modulation of Neural Circuits and Behavior GRC where I was in awe of the scope and scale of the science being done by such a great group of people! Feeling invigorated and happy to have built so many new connections!

Microglia plays a critical role in the degeneration of synapses in Huntington's disease! Led by Daniel Wilton in the beth stevens ! This was a remarkable study to be a part of and I can't wait to see the next steps and potential for therapeutic intervention 👀👀👀👀

Why does this have an age limit? Why would it matter that you are less than 35 years old? Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology | Science | AAAS science.org/content/page/e…

One of the best parts of watching these NCAA basketball games is getting to listen to Chiney Ogwumike & Andraya Carter break it all down!!! ESPN better be putting them on a whole lot more games!

Got together with Kevin Mastro 🏳️‍🌈 & Michael Ryan from the Simons Collab on Plasticity and the Aging Brain to discuss #healthyaging. We take a multi-level approach to understand how brains age in the absence of disease. In this sense, aging can be an example of active remodeling rather than degeneration.

Excited to share our recent work in @cellcellpress: Microglial-derived C1q integrates into neuronal ribonucleoprotein complexes and impacts protein homeostasis in the aging brain: Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/… beth stevens 1/n

I remember the day that Nicole Scott-Hewitt made her initial discovery, it was clear that it would lead to a great impact! She absolutely nailed it and I am excited for the world to see all her hard work!

For the record: You cannot have an abortion in the 9th month. You cannot have an abortion after birth. If we didn’t keep banning books, maybe we wouldn’t have to clear that up. #Debate2024

This is bad. Full stop. It is impossible to fully break down why indirects are necessary but to relegate them to some “administrative overhead” with no real explanation of the jobs and infrastructure being cut is misleading. This will negatively impact communities and science.
