The Navy runs on scientific brilliance. Working with the most advanced tech and labs around the world, Sailors in science and military engineering jobs ensure the fleet has the most up-to-date information.

Was a pleasure to speak to JROTC students at STEM event at @portmiami during Fleet Week Miami to share my story and encourage them to choose a career in service! I encourage all Floridians to tour our ships and hear from our Sailors & Marines during the rest of #FleetWeekMiami.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, I discussed mindfulness with Dr. Amishi Jha, the Director of Contemplative Neuroscience & Professor of Psychology at University of Miami.

I'm in Macomb County today with Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan to launch the Michigan Maritime Manufacturing Initiative. This partnership between federal, state, and local leaders will help us build a workforce to lead the future of defense manufacturing. In short, it will help us get ship done. 🚢

Recently, we spoke to Monica Dus (Monica Dus ✨), a 2023 Biology Fellow. At University of Michigan, she leads a nutrigenomics lab: the study of how nutrients and genes interact to shape brain function, behavior, and disease. Learn about her life and love of science here: gf.org/news/general/i…

A new task force is developing a vision for a globally competitive 21st century U.S. Science and Technology enterprise. They will present the Vision for American Science and Technology (VAST) to Congress and the next administration's transition team. axios.com/pro/tech-polic…

Happy to share a new National Academies publication: On Leading a Lab: Strengthening Scientific Leadership in Responsible Research: Proceedings of a Workshop. I had the honor of working with Thomas Arrison and other leaders in organizing this workshop and discussing the best practices in

I am so honored and excited to serve in this role! There is so much to do, learn, and grow! Thank you, VP Arthur Lupia and Michigan Research #GoBlue

I’m so excited to share our new research direction at the #AAASmtg public lecture next week!

The VAST panelists speak about this initiative's vision for the American S&T and the core values set to support American #STEMM leadership. They note the report put together by 25 non-profit, academic, foundation, and corporate leaders, to be released later this month. #AAASmtg

Proud to join my #VAST Task Force colleagues in unveiling a groundbreaking Vision for U.S. science & tech. Our recommendations break down barriers to secure America’s global leadership. Learn more: VASTfuture.org.

Last week, #VAST released a new set of comprehensive policy recommendations to create a safer, healthier, more prosperous world powered by American science and technology. aaas.org/news/task-forc…

MARCH 19: “Engage with AAAS: Vision for American Science & Technology (VAST)” is a members-only webinar. RSVP to learn about the vision’s actionable recommendations that have bipartisan support. Check your email or Member Community to register. members.aaas.org/events/event-d…

Our new preprint is out! We found an essential role for glycolysis enzyme PyK in axon and synapse integrity. PyK-deficient motor neuron synapses degenerate, driven by the DLK kinase and SARM1. Work done with Monica Dus ✨ and Catherine Collins researchgate.net/publication/39…

Thank you to all of those who nominated me and encouraged, mentored, and challenged me along this path! #GoBlue

“Class of 2025, as you go forward, I encourage you to stay connected to this place that has shaped you... Remain part of this extraordinary Michigan family. And never, never stop singing Mr. Brightside. Forever, #GoBlue!” - President Santa J. Ono #MGoGrad
