🧠🌟🐭 Excited to share some of my postdoc work on the evolution of dexterity! We compared deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. We found that forest mice have: (1) more corticospinal neurons (CSNs) (2) better hand dexterity (3) more dexterous climbing, which is linked to CSN number🧵

Ok MIT, you have my attention

We had a great kick-off site visit with our NHP teams at the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, and John Hopkins University! Thank you all so much for hosting us! @adamhantman.bsky.social @raeedcho.bsky.social @cmu.edu

My labs #1 source of viruses. Full disclosure I may be married to the director.

Spent a week in Arizona with these amazing people at the inaugural summit for the Raynor Institute. We are trying to advance the next generation of neuromodulation to help those with cerebellar disorders and maybe more.

Even though UNC had an off year, at least Duke are not national champions. I’ll take it. Along with a natty for @uncwomenssoccer.bsky.social

Reading this one to the kids really spoke to me tonight. "Something, Someday" by Amanda Gorman and Christian Robinson 1/n

Just thinking about how inspiring David Ginty’s Perl Prize talk was. Thanks David

Such bad news.

I am excited to announce that I will be founding an institute for network stimulation at the University Hospital Cologne – already this coming May!

Been thinking a lot about rejections in science, since I have now seen it from both sides. Been a particularly tough week for my lab. Of course, it is part of the process, but it is also important to compartmentalize the effects. Especially to minimize impact on personal life and family.

Excited to be here, a science reprieve.
