Finally turned in my dissertation to my committee today! Totally had to lay on the floor afterwards because all of my senses felt like static, but that's beside the point.

The Spinal Cord Injury research teams at @KUMedCenter swept the podium for poster awards at Paralyzed Veterans of America 2023! Congrats to @DrErinY for third place, @OliviaEllerPhD for second place, and @KyleBaumbauer for first place! Y'all rocked it, and we are all proud!!

If you are at #DDW2023, don't miss out on my poster (#1884) tomorrow on gut inflammation and host-microbiome interactions related to gut pain and dysmotility!

@KateSadlerPhD Oh, I love a good rooftop bar. Will definitely look into it, thanks!!

@adam_willits1 cindysrooftop.com << fancy views. fancy cocktails. 10/10.

Boarded and en route to Chicago for my first #DDW2023. I am looking forward to all the new adventures and exciting GI research! Hit me up with any Chicago recommendations.

Had a great time presenting as a PhD candidate at #USASP2023 hosted by Duke. It was exciting to see my growth and development since my last presentation at Duke five years ago as a master's student. Full circle moment!

I had a great time! Thank you to the Early Career Forum organizers for the invitation to speak, and I am excited for the rest of the conference. If you want to hear about gut inflammation and host-microbiome interactions, make sure to come by my poster in Session A! @US_ASP

@DrErinY Oh lawd, gonna add this to the top of my reading list!!

@adam_willits1 !!!!!!

I'm incredibly excited about the opportunity to present at my first DDW! Thank you so much to my mentor @DrErinY for all of your vital help and to @AmerGastroAssn and @DDWMeeting for the honor! See you all in May! #DDW2023

Congratulations are in order for ⁦@adam_willits1⁩ who was selected as a T32 scholar for 22-23! Timing is perfect because headshots just came in! 😍

Check out our recent review highlighting non-pharmacological treatments for pain following spinal cord injury! @adam_willits1 @DrErinY @KyleBaumbauer

The European Pain School has absolutely been a fulfilling experience! I've learned so much about gut inflammation and pain in ways I'd never get to experience elsewhere. Thank you for the support in getting here!! #EPS2022 #visceralpain #phdlife

Enjoying a day in Florence and recovering from jet lag before heading to Siena for the European Pain School. Already overwhelmed with excitement and haven't even gotten to the main event. #EPS2022

It has been a fantastic time presenting at @US_ASP and hearing about everyone else's science. It has definitely revitalized my passion to learn and do great science! #USASP2022

Fantastic Neuro Grad Program students @RenaStair and @adam_willits1 presenting their great research at @US_ASP #USASP2022 #GAPPLab @DrErinY @KyleBaumbauer @KUMedCenter @KU_Anesthesia @ARCatKUMC

More excellent posters this afternoon by @adam_willits1 and @RenaStair #USASP2022

@US_ASP, @KUMedCenter has arrived!

@DrErinY and graduate students @adam_willits1 and @LeenaKader from @KU_Anesthesia use multi-omics approaches to identify new candidate genes for thermal pain. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35088629/

This has been an incredible collaboration to bring to you our newest work, a review on pediatric postsurgical pain! @adam_willits1 @NamrataGRRaut @Vidyachidambar1 @DrErinY @JankowskiLab tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
