To celebrate the closing of my first year as a PI, I present the drastically miss-sized things I have ordered next to what I was trying to order, a thread. #sciencesky #neuroskyence #neuroscience Up first...Rosie the wrench. Silver lining torque is amazing and we now have a lab mascot.

Welp, the news is out. It's a gutting day for us at STAT with layoffs of 11 treasured, hardworking colleagues. I can't say this loud enough: Please subscribe/support the journalism you trust. Science writing jobs are going extinct at a time when we're needed most. www.bostonglobe.com/2024/12/09/b...

As I wrap this year, I have been reflecting on what was accomplished and plans for the year ahead. One thing remains constant is my desire to continue to collaborate on impactful projects to promote health equity in the US and abroad. 🔗 jamaicans.com/yale-assista...
