"The most important advice is to go for it. That means to embrace your interests, your passions, and really give it your all." Advice from our 2020 chemistry laureate Jennifer Doudna who shared the prize "for the development of a method for genome editing." #WomenInScience

The significance of this is that it gives ownership to African people & insitutions. It also gives Africa a sense of responsibility to deliver its own genomics & bioinformatics training. By always flying trainers to Africa we create a sense of dependence that doesn't go away.

Every academic needs friends who have no idea what you research and don't care.

they demonstrate that the cerebellum modulates dopamine activity within the basal ganglia to influence movement initiation, vigor, and reward. You can read the media coverage here medindia.net/news/cerebellu…, and the behemoth of a paper here nature.com/articles/s4159… 2/2

I'm so proud to call these amazing scientists my friends. Challenging a field to expand its focus towards a less conventional road requires comprehensive data that carefully considers alternative explanations. These guys in the Khodakhah lab @EinsteinMed did just that when 1/2

@astrolatinaa Congrats!

Grad apps officially submitted!!! Wahoo🥳🥳🥳 Congrats and best of luck to all of the other applicants! We got this💪🏼👩🏻‍🔬

Today my first oped since becoming a Public Voices Fellow @TheOpEdProject was published. In it I discuss the importance of inclusion within neuroscience and neurotechnological design with a special nod to @BlackInNeuro Read here👇🏾👇🏾

#ICYMI: Each year women in science receive recognition for their contribution to the global science community at a time when global efforts in research are still lagging behind. Scientists in Africa represent only 2.5% of the world's researchers bit.ly/3uePDAc.

Yesterday, I received the Legacy Award from the Justice for Black Girls Conference ⁦@SpelmanCollege⁩ for the work I did in bringing Bobbi to ⁦@Yale⁩. To my SHOCK, Bobbi and her family (over 20 people) flew down to SURPRISE me during my speech. I am in tears!🥹🥹🥹

I am now a PhD candidate!

Finally in the exciting part of my PhD journey where every waking moment is filled with thoughts about my dissertation project #phdlife
