almost exactly 4.5 years ago, my phd advisor asked me to write a chapter of a textbook. i thought that was crazy and also immediately said yes. today, i got to hold that textbook !! with that painstakingly written chapter !! in my little hands !! 📘🤲🏼

I guest lecture & TA a fair bit, and absolutely love it. Regardless of level of class (undergrad/grad), I usually get mistaken as a student in the class. This time around, I got mistaken as a professor - “because you look so confident”. …growth.🥹 Here’s to a great semester!

happy, happy Vanderbilt Kennedy Center Science Day!! 🧬🧠📚✨ (come hang out with me, poster session 1 / poster 33, to talk about transcranial magnetic stimulation & myelination in adults !! 😱🧠⚡️)

they can hike a mountain (literally. this is at the top of sulphur mountain in the canadian rockies) but can they science?! come find out at Macleod E1 at 10:30 am today - we’re co-chairing a symposium on all things white matter & reading!! 🤓📚🧠 #SSSR2025

achievement unlocked: my symposium talk is on saturday, but today, i was 2nd author on not one but TWO posters across TWO universities!! it is truly just the coolest thing to get to be involved in several reading related research projects with diverse methodologies. #SSSR2025

went to a ~fantastic~ seminar (as part of the VUIIS seminar series) on white matter across the lifespan by dr. kurt schilling today !! the MASI lab has created some really neat white matter development charts (a la height/weight growth charts for infants & toddlers) !! 🤩🤩🤩
