This weekend I walked to at graduation to end my 8 years in Pittsburgh. This was supported by mentors and friends including Andreas Pfenning and Ruby Holland. To top it off, a major PhD dissertation project with @wrstauffer.bsky.social is now published in Neuron! bit.ly/4ktg1v1

I'm excited to be matched to at @stanfordanes.bsky.social, an excellent program, and future home for me to continue my career as a physician scientist caring for the people from where I grew up. 🧑🏻‍⚕️👨🏽‍🔬 #doubledocs

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

🧠 1/15 First bsky post and preprint alert! Part 4 of my thesis work is now online🎓🕺📜! We created tools to study specific neuron types in primate prefrontal cortex to be able to study complex thinking! Let's break down this work from the Stauffer (Pitt 🐵) and Pfenning (CMU🧬) labs🧵.

I made a systems neuroscience starter pack, focused on experimentalists who study the brain at the level of populations of neurons! Also want to be on the list? Reply or DM me a picture of your ephys rig or 2p setup and I'll add you 🤭 go.bsky.app/UiqX7ry

I made a starter pack for neuroscience folks but I just saw that it’s capped at 150 people. Sorry if I missed anyone! Maybe #neuroscience folks should start making subfield starter packs? 🧪 go.bsky.app/Q69XurQ

A starter pack! Some of my favorite women in neuroscience (sorry if I forgot you, I will add!) go.bsky.app/SCFmKoC

As an #R user both in #Rstudio and #Terminal, I have been known to change my IDE color panel to look like the #Matrix 😎💻💊

Doing a #MicroscopyMonday because I’m just so excited about these images of D1R sub -populations in nucleus accumbens of human brain 🧠🔬🤩
