It was so fun to celebrate a great year with the Marshall lab yesterday! We missed a few people, but we laughed, feasted, made onesies for Brandon’s sweet newborn, and discovered that our new lab member Cora is younger than Harry, my dog. It is a joy to work with these wonderful people!

I woke up and it did not disappear! I am so deeply thankful to my mentors and colleagues for their guidance. Special thanks to @karalmarshall.bsky.social for believing in my offshoot data and supporting it. #Neuroscience #Cardiometabolic #Health #AHAPreDoctoralAward #EatSleepRun

Had a bit of a proud mentor moment today! Congratulations to my undergraduate mentee, Cici Calhoun who did a great job presenting at the multi-institutional Neuroscience Symposium and got third place!! This was also her first poster presentation.

Had a great time talking about my research on regenerating planarians at the 3rd Annual Nancy Chang Symposium. I am grateful to have received second place for the poster. Thankful to my mentors Kara Marshall and Blair Benham-Pyle for helping me chase this project through the last 1.5 years. 🏃‍♀️

My festive planarian is ready for the holidays! 🎄

Very grateful for the mentorship, and the opportunity to present my first ever poster on planarians.
