The @umdleadlab.bsky.social and the world lost a bright star this week. Victoria was such a kind, dedicated, and passionate person. She was one of my first students, helping me set up my lab from scratch, and I am honored to have worked with her. There aren't words for how much we will miss her. ❤️

I had the best time at @fluxsociety.bsky.social Flux Congress presenting novel findings, catching up with friends and colleagues, and enjoying the vibrant #Dublin 🇮🇪 I’m incredibly honored to have received Flux Travel award to attend one of my favorite conferences of the year! ☺️❤️

I am so happy to see @gavkhar-a.bsky.social getting some well-deserved recognition. Not only is Gavkhar a fantastic scientist, she is one of the kindest people I know. 🧠💕 Yay, Gavkhar!

Huge thank you to #SfNIRS Summer School for a fantastic workshop in St Louis! I learned a ton from brilliant lectures, hands-on NeuroDOT sessions, and networking with attendees and workshop organizers. Thank you so much and looking forward to more events like this in the future!!
