Got a request from a colleague who is submitting a co-authored manuscript . . . finally got a chance to use this gem! 😅 #ScienceMemes #Academia #ORCid #LOTR #LordoftheRings

So grateful to have had the opportunity to #advocate with my colleagues from #WayneState for state #funding in support of public #education. Wayne State is a school of #opportunity, recognizing that "talent is universal. Opportunity should be too." Read more here: today.wayne.edu/news/2026/05...

Happy #TraumaBlogTuesday! This week on the @istss.bsky.social #TraumaBlog, we are talking moral injury and systemic betrayal in military service members. Read the #BlogPost here: istss.org/why-betrayal... #Betrayal #Military #Trauma #TraumaticStress #MoralInjury

Things I did while running a Monte Carlo simulation: - Put out a lab newsletter and event recap YouTube video - Met with three mentees - Graded 9 grad students' neuroanatomy final projects - Organized and sent out lab updates - 3D printed a brain - Oversaw a CAB meeting and still simulating . . .

Happy #TraumaBlogTuesday from @istss.bsky.social! We've got a great new post up today covering experience of trauma and healing in immigrant families from Central America. Read it here: istss.org/what-immigra... #Trauma #Immigration #Healing #CentralAmerica #Blog #TraumaBlog #ISTSS

Ok this now has to become a very close second, because I just got news that I received a University Research Grant from Wayne State! It is such a joy to be here, & I am immensely grateful for the institution's investment in our work @ruvvyresiliencelab.bsky.social. @waynestateclas.bsky.social

Getting the best birthday present from #F1, Miami Race Weekend starting on my birthday tomorrow! We've waited long and hard and we are ready to be back. How fitting that my team member so generously gifted me Susie Wolff's book "Driven" for my birthday too! Feeling so grateful and excited 🤩✨

Ok, I have to say having a #grant go from waiting on an NOA that never game to not discussed is pretty soul-crushing 😢 Grateful to have multiple irons in the fire and hoping for better outcomes for the next three on the horizon. I continue to learn to practice what I preach about #resilience! #NIH

Four NIH grants currently under review; last night had nightmares about scores so that's where I am at right now 😅 How is everyone else doing this weekend?! 🫠

Our undergraduate volunteer, Naga Alyamani, made this beautiful poster to distill our message for anyone who wants to learn more about our lab's mission. We are so proud of Naga and grateful for her efforts in science communication. If you get our newsletter, she is the person putting it together!

I love assigning creative projects for finals in my courses, to allow students to use their unique talents to show how much they've learned and to overcome barriers and limitations with traditional testing. [thread; 1/4]

Fourth book of 2026 was a memoir of a patient/author's therapeutic journey. While a bit dry at times, I found it quite impactful for someone to share so transparently in such an eye-opening way. Book 4 of ? in 2026: I want to die but I want to eat tteokbokki by Baek Sehee (+ more Korea pictures)

Third book of 2026 was a profound short story collection found in Seoul bookstore Kyobo while visiting Korea for my dear friend's birthday. Reading these stories helped me gain a small bit of insight into a rich culture that is so new to me. Book 3 of ? in 2026: Shoko's Smmile by Choi Eunyoung

Two Photon Art store has reopened for graduation gifts!! For a limited time, we’re sending a ~*~ free mystery pin ~*~ with orders above $20!

One of my mentors and I both have #NIH grants under review today, so everyone please cross your fingers and toes and put good vibes out into the world for quality feedback and scores that reflect the efforts and scientific work we've committed to these projects we are passionate about!

We're presenting at the @adaaanxiety.bsky.social meeting in Chicago, IL from April 9th–11th! Our team will be contributing to a range of important conversations on anxiety, trauma, and innovative therapeutic approaches through workshops, symposium presentations, and poster sessions. #ADAA #ADAA2026

When you're a #neuroscientist but you're also a #yoga girlie so you set your seeds for analyses using your angel numbers (444 babes!!) ✨✨✨✨

I feel like the luckiest person ever to see all my dreams coming true--leading science I am passionate about, working with the most incredible team, and being able to cultivate a positive work environment for best success of not just the lab but each team member, both professionally & personally. 🥹

We had a wonderful evening celebrating with our extended family (lab members + their families) last night for our first of certainly many potluck events! Everyone brought a dish that represented their culture/heritage, we created an art piece together for the lab, and we bonded! So grateful 🩷💚🧠

#F1 as a metaphor for direct and indirect costs: - #DirectCosts support the driver, aka the PI. This person 'steers' the #science and leads the implementation of the proposed project. - #IndirectCosts support the car, pit crew, etc, aka maintain #equipment, #facilities, & support #administrators.

I am so proud of these women in science! Ujala Janjua, our lab manager, is an exceptional leader & mentor within the lab who has been a great supporter in Khrystyna's honors thesis project and this poster presentation. They are both stars! #WomeninSTEM @waynestateclas.bsky.social #WarriorScholars

Hiiii guess who is talking about time- and self-management at the end of the month through #NEWomeninSTEM ?? I have met awesome women through this conference AND through their volunteer events.
