Best news ever- I have finally earned my PhD in Neuroscience!!🧠 My thesis was completed in the lab of Dr. Gregory Corder @flybottleescape.bsky.social & is titled: “Opioidergic Organization of the Nociceptive Medial Thalamus & A Behavioral Model of Placebo Analgesia”

The end is almost here! Please join me for my Neuroscience PhD defense on July 23, 2PM EST. I will be presenting my thesis work: "Opioidergic Organization of the Nociceptive Medial Thalamus." Hope you can join and support! us02web.zoom.us/j/83574377937

Awesome news! I will be participating in the Revolutions in Science hosted by @nasonline.org and Smithsonian Institute. This symposium is in honor of USA’s 250th birthday- celebrating the research progress we’ve made thus far, and imagining what the future of science looks like in our country.

Why do your limbs go numb or "fall asleep" in certain positions? Find out the reason behind this "pins and needles" sensation in this week's post by @neuromelody.bsky.social : pennneuroknow.com/2026/04/28/p... #PsychSciSky #SciComm 🧠🟦 🧪

Pins and needles

Why do your limbs go numb or “fall asleep” after sitting in the wrong position?

Ever been on a date & had your arm go numb after being around your date for too long? What about finding it hard to walk after sitting on the toilet too long?😅 Check out the science behind why limbs go numb/feel like pins & needles in my latest article for @pennneuroknow.bsky.social #neuroskyence

Excited to share an early look at psilo-seq, a web portal for exploring our lab’s single-nucleus RNA-seq data in mice following psychedelic treatment.

Thrilled to share my feature on @sfn.org “Future of Neuroscience” series!! In this interview, I reflect on why I chose to study neuroscience, share some of my PhD research, and discuss some of the benefits and challenges of sharing neuroscience content online. www.sfn.org/publications... #scicomm

Had such a great time presenting my PhD research at this year’s US Association for the Study of Pain conference in Philadelphia. @usasp.bsky.social #neuroskyence #painresearch

Excited for my first USASP (US Association for the Study of Pain) conference! I present my poster on nociceptive processing in the medial thalamus during the Tuesday morning session (poster A12)- hope to see you there! #USASP2026 #painresearch #neuroskyence

GREAT NEWS! Congrats to my PhD advisor for being awarded tenure at University of Pennsylvania!! Goals!🤩🤓🧠👏🏾

Our first full day at @nationalacademies.org Science Communication Excellence Award workshop is off to a strong start! I’m learning to humanize my #scicomm, strategic ways to battle misinformation, & the funding landscape for science journalism.

Heading to DC for a week-long science communication workshop with @nationalacademies.org where we'll be trained topics like freelancing, AI+scicomm, & reporting/publishing. We'll also be connecting with science journalists at NPR & receiving our Science Communication Excellence awards. SO EXCITED!!

Congratulations to @neuromelody.bsky.social and all the honorees!

I feel like using Claude to write/troubleshoot code >>>> using Chat GPT. Or maybe it's because I stopped using MATLab and graduated to Python lol

My favorite talk at this year‘s @blackinneuro.bsky.social conference from Black in AI founder Dr. Timnit Gebru. We discussed the problematic history of AI research, and reimagined a future in which AI is decentralized, well-defined, and less biased. Lots to think/read about from this one!

Writing the “discussion” section of my PhD paper is SO FUN. It really ties all the things I’ve been thinking and researching about together. I feel like such a genius/mad scientist rn haha

I wrote about how we must stand and fight against the threat of eugenics. Fueled by white nationalism and scientific racism, these beliefs are factually wrong and ethically abhorrent. This fight includes supporting efforts to diversify our workforce & science. To stop now would be a deep betrayal.

Eugenics is on the rise again: human geneticists must take a stand

Scientists must push back against the threat of rising white nationalism and the dangerous and pseudoscientific ideas of eugenics.

See this chart for one stark example: NIH funding has dramatically slowed down. Grant awards are down *$3 billion* so far, compared to same time period last year I asked the White House to explain. “This is not a researcher entitlement program,” said an official, defending their new approach.
