Saw so many amazing posters this week at the @UNCBBSP first year poster sessions and had so much fun presenting work from my rotation in @BaldwinLab!! Thankful to be part of such an awesome cohort 😊

Every year I read a lot of grad school applications from accomplished people that don't give me the info I'm looking for. It feels like a major hidden curriculum thing. So here's (my opinion on) how to write a great Statement of Purpose/Research for a PhD program. 🧵 1/

Re: This whole publication debate…to be honest, I don’t want my career to ever come down to papers. I don’t want tenure to be about papers, or grants, or my value as a scientist. Not at all. While I know the system I’ve chosen to work in, given the chance I’d end papers.

Vote yes if you can! I ruled out a lot of programs with cool research during the application process because I did not think the stipend would cover basic needs, including programs in California and NYC. Low stipends are a real barrier to equitable recruitment practices!

For what it's worth, @dduane's Young Wizards series is better than HP on every level, there are more of them, to my knowledge she's not outspoken against human rights, and her books are currently 50% off.

SO excited to share my first paper from my postbac in the Buonanno Lab at @NICHD_NIH ! We found NMDA receptors on >90% PV+ interneurons in the mouse mPFC and parsed out their important contribution to thalamocortical feedforward inhibition.

Check it out!

This is one of my favorite things 🥰

If you read anything today... let it be this: "When your PhD (almost) falls apart" @eLife - so so many good lessons in this short article (1/6) doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

@kim_siever This looks amazing!!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤

So, we painted our home.

@deontae_io Trying to get back into the hobby myself! We should shoot together some time :)
