It’s been a month! First author paper published in Neuron Mark and I are engaged! Presented at an international conference in Italy where my love and I traveled around after exploring Cinque Terre and Tuscany 🥰 Received the Allergan BioSci Graduate Award and GDDF* I’m over the freaking moon!

Sitting in a cafe in San Gimignano Italy when I realized that my first first-author publication is now available online in Neuron!!! Check out our temporal spatial transcriptomics findings in the Huntington's disease R6/2 mouse. 🥰 Read here: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

So excited to see my fantastic boss, Dr. Leslie Thompson, on TV, along with a Huntington's disease patient speaking about the impact of HD and hope for the future. Check it out! ktla.com/news/local-n...

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

I have attended the UCI REMIND symposium for the past 5 years and this year I had the pleasure of presenting my work on Friday! Thanks to everyone who attended. 🔬

My best friend defended his thesis yesterday!!! I cried multiple times and can’t put into words how grateful I am to have met Dr. Pachow. He has truly changed my life and will be one of those lifetime friends. One of the best things to come out of grad school. Congrats!! See you soon in SD! 💕

Congrats Thai!!! So excited to see his thesis work published in Nature Neuroscience. Take a look at some ground breaking findings in Huntington's disease related to splicing, TDP-43 and m6A RNA modifications. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

3 reviews on planning, execution, & validation of transcriptomic experiments in neuroscience published in @natureportfolio.bsky.social #NatureNeuroscience. A MUST READ if you're doing transcriptomics. 3 reviews, an amazing editorial, a beautiful cover – this is the issue of the year! (mini thread)

Hi Bluesky, I’m new to the app and transitioning from X/Twitter. I’m a 5th year grad student in Dr. Leslie Thompsons lab at UCI focusing on the development of Huntingtons disease with an interest in astrocytes. Happy to be here!
