My first postdoc paper is officially published! 🥳 We define the sensory neurons inside the tooth as sentinels: tuned to detect tooth damage and trigger a protective jaw opening reflex 🦷🔨 Grateful to have explored this research with our incredible and interdisciplinary team!

Congrats to Can Wang and @elizabithian from the Xu lab in @UMLifeSciences and @UMPhysiology for their paper in Biophysics Reports describing the methods to assay three features of auditory sensation in C. elegans biophysics-reports.org/article/doi/10…

We are a group of resident #pathologists who not only work hard, but have fun. 😎 Though we are missing a few of our crew members from this pic, we had a blast at our pre #fathersdayweekend resident cookout last Friday! #pathx #pathology #residency #team #family

“The lab is everything” in medicine. Without it, we cannot deliver superior patient care. Fun activities and the #Barbie theme were celebrated this week here. Thank you and shout out to all the lab professionals out there! Happy Lab Week 2024! #lab #pathology #MLS #LabWeek2024

Great representation at #USCAP2024 by some of our #pathology residents. Until next time! #USCAP2025 #Baltimore #PathX 1/3

Embarrassing

What types of sensations can we derive from our teeth? How are sensory stimuli detected and transduced within the tooth? We’re still exploring some of these questions… but I just published a short review summarizing current understanding of tooth sensation! Check it out ⬇️🦷

For #ResidentandFellowAppreciationDay, we got the crew together for a midday pub and bowling outing 🎳🎳🎳. Love this group of people...we are very thankful for each other!! #PathX #Pathology #PathMatch2024

#PubNight is an important monthly tradition in our program. It’s always better when #trivia is involved, too. We didn’t get first place this time but we held our own as “Team Unknowns”. 🔬 Looking forward to next time! #GoodVibesOnly #friyay #PathX #PathMatch2024

So proud of the @Lions Thanks 4 an amazing season!!!! We'll b back!!!

#PathX, we're back after a brief hiatus! And we brought food! Our #DEIC led a #DEI potluck earlier this month and everyone was excited to celebrate each other's cultures and backgrounds. Looking forward to the next one! #GoodVibesOnly #PathMatch2024 #friyay

Do you get a discount if you buy the car that Jeremy Hunt and Rishi Sunak helped make?

LSI researchers recently revealed how #celegans can sense sound without ears—by sensing sound pressure gradients from localized (but not larger) sources. Coauthors @elizabithian and @CanWang94 explain the findings in this @CurrentBiology video abstract: youtube.com/watch?v=Gdp0U_…

So proud of my science rockstar wifey @elizabithian on co-first authoring this groundbreaking research 🤩😍

@sarcomapathdoc Now it’s all path, all the time 😎

Case of the week! Where can you find a connection between burritos, pizzas, international & national meetings? The answer is: @BeaumontPathRes 😊 We had a busy& fruitful couple of weeks, started with fun gathering with our PD Jackie that involved 🌯 🌯

Our annual RISE photo! Looking forward to adding the 3 C’s next year 🤩 we’re gonna miss our 4th years though 🥲 #PathTwitter @caseypschukow @CharlieKTobin @Olabisi34638607 @AlFa49156087 @Srksamejo2 @AshbitaP @Anders0nj @MaiElzieny @BmetcalfMD
