Excited to share another #opensource tool from the lab! We have been using this set up to do awake head-fixed scans without the need for any anesthesia on the day of the scans! Now working on integrating licking behaviour and linear treadmill operandum!

I am thrilled to announce that I am joining the awesome UAB Dept. of Neurobiology this Fall as an Assistant Professor! 🍾🥂👩‍🔬 My lab will resolve how hormones sway neural activity dynamics & drug seeking, and subpopulation differences therein. Excited for what the future holds! @uabneuro.bsky.social

I was hoping that my first bsky post would be more cheerful. I recently joined NIH (NIEHS) as a PO. I fought hard for this position and was so excited to support health science from a new vantage point… I picked up my life and moved to NC. Unfortunately, my time at NIEHS was short lived.
