Feeling a bit verklempt to be honored with the 2026 Breslau/Murphy Award from @appa-association.bsky.social. It’s hard to overstate how much an award like this means to me. I love science, and training the next generation of scientists isn’t part of the job; it IS the job.

In this special issue of @harvardrevpsych.bsky.social, Special Issue Co-Editors Drs. Roffman and Dunn present insights from scientific teams working on the cutting edge of prevention and early intervention for psychiatric illness @drerindunn.bsky.social journals.lww.com/hrpjournal/f...

Do you know what snail shells & teeth have in common? 🐌🦷 They both grow in distinct layers! Snail shells add spiral layers as they age, much like how our teeth show incremental layers of enamel... www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-... 🧪

Beautiful fall foliage on my morning run. Looking forward to more time spent outdoors as the seasons shift and change! 🍂

As the Science Tooth Fairy, I love seeing teeth featured in fall decorations. Here are two of my favorites, featured by local dental offices 🦷🎃 What were your favorite Halloween / Fall sights recently?

Calling all creative social media enthusiasts! 📷 The Dunn Lab is seeking support to share our science through videos & photos on social media. If you have a talent for content creation & are local to #PurdueUniversity Indianapolis campus, please apply by November 30, 2025!

One important part of The Dunn Lab culture is to spend time together outside the lab! It was so refreshing to be able to host a recent lab lunch for us to reconnect & share ideas in a different setting - always great for creativity ✨🧪

A quick thread of some great Purdue representation sharing our amazing science at @ispg.bsky.social annual conference #WCPG2025! 🧬 🧠 🧪 First up: @ktnthompson.bsky.social presented work investigating whether family acceptance & belonging mitigate depression risk 👪

I love learning about all the things kids do with their baby teeth! In Spain their tooth fairy is a mouse! Casa Museo del Ratón Pérez in Madrid is a hidden gem that shares the story of this folkloric character. 🦷 🐁

🧪 Grateful to @hlusko.bsky.social for inviting me to visit & give a talk at the National Human Evolution Research Centre @cenieh.bsky.social during my visit over the summer. Such a pleasure to meet the team, see their work & share my own! 🦷 🧬

🧪 Finally catching up on social after the summer and reflecting on my first time at the @iadr.bsky.social meeting! I had the pleasure of meeting @hlusko.bsky.social & listening to her keynote talk on decoding human evolutionary adaptation from teeth.

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE
