Overdue for an update here! I successfully defended my dissertation at Vanderbilt & transitioned to a postdoc with @rachelromeo.bsky.social at UMD! I’ll be pursuing my own work on an F32 over the next few years🎉 I’m so grateful for everything I learned at Vanderbilt & excited for this next chapter!

I am hiring a new lab manager for the @umdleadlab.bsky.social to start this summer! Job ad and link to apply here. Please re-post and share with your seniors, and/or anyone else who would be a good fit! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Victoria was one of the most joyful people I have ever met. She brought so much enthusiasm to science and life❤️

In the past month 4 trainees in my lab lost: NIH diversity supplement, MARC, & STEP-Up funding. NSF SBE meeting (incl. ECRs) indefinitely postponed. Pipeline cuts disproportionately affect underrepresented scholars. Individual lives & our collective future impacted. #ScienceMatters

To be perfectly frank, the USA is not and has not been a "world leader" across many things *except* biomedical research. This could be no more, thanks to what is happening to the NIH and many others. This is a travesty for not only science, but the beneficiaries of that science: the people.

Very excited to share a new preprint from the LEAD lab on Inclusive Practices for fNIRS Research with Participants with Afro-Textured Hair, an amazing mixed methods study by Abria Simmons, @gavkhar-a.bsky.social & @elliektaylor.bsky.social! Check it out and share! osf.io/preprints/ps...
