Congratulations to my fellow lab member, Dr. @jcucinello, on their incredible dissertation defense! Jessi has been such an inspiration to me since joining the Edwards lab, and I can’t wait to see the amazing contributions they make to the addiction neurophysiology field!

Headed to my 1st conference of grad school in the morning & I’m stoked it’s Gordon Research Conferences Alcohol-induced End-Organ Diseases 🍻. I’ll be sharing my work so far on modeling simultaneous metabolic and alcohol-associated steatohepatitis (aka SMASH) using 3D cell cultures!

Day 1 done with Taylor Fitzpatrick-Schmidt! Everything from the food, networking, & talks have been fab. Looking forward to hearing her talk tomorrow on cognitive impairment, HIV, alcohol use, and cardiometabolic risk factors. #grsalcohol2023

Congrats to my friend and colleague Eden McMillin Gallegos on a great talk to kick off day 1 of GRS! Gordon Research Conferences

Update: it was great!! Keep an eye out for her nonhuman primate studies looking at mechanisms implicated in hyperinsulinemia + cognitive impairment due to alcohol in HIV/SIV 👀 Taylor Fitzpatrick-Schmidt
