I am absolutely thrilled to announce that I will be joining @NGPMichigan to pursue my PhD in Neuroscience @UMich this fall! 🧠 Extremely grateful to join a doctoral program as #firstgen. Thank you @colevonderhaar lab @OSUNeuroscience for the support and undergrad mentorship!

Really excited to share that my undergrad work from @colevonderhaar lab @OSUNeuroscience @OhioStateCBI is finally out in Experimental Neurology! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The final bit of my PhD work from the @SandersonLab is now out in iScience! Agent-based modeling of neuronal mitochondrial dynamics using intrinsic variables of individual mitochondria: iScience cell.com/iscience/fullt…

Happy to share a large part of my PhD work that is now published in Autophagy! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our friends at @NGPMichigan 〽️are seeking #neuroscience faculty and lab staff volunteers for #BrainsRule! on 4/10! BrainsRule! teaches middle schoolers about the brain 🧠and fosters their interest in science through hands-on activities. More info: michmed.org/kq27R

Look! New @SandersonLab pics just dropped 🧠🤓 #sfn2024

Started off #sfn2024 strong with my favorite neuroscientist and former lab mate from @OSUNeuroscience !! Excited for the week 🤩🧠

@okonski_s Went directly to grad school! There is no right or wrong path to becoming a scientist, it’s personal preference! I felt motivated and ready to pursue the next step (and don’t regret it), but I have friends who have benefitted from taking time off or gaining additional experience!

@jackieneuro Absolutely! :) welcome to the NGP 🧠

Do graduate students still take first day of school photos?

@JillPfister @UMich Thank you so much Dr. P!!

@r_speas @UMich Sounds great!!

@khri_duncan @UMich Thank you so much 🥹 happy to be part of it!!!

@TheKaylaMarie1 @UMich !!! Me too !!! So happy we can do it together !!! 🥳🤍

@r_speas @UMich I can’t wait to see all of the other great things we accomplish during grad school 🫶👩‍🔬🧠

@jenkins_paul Congratulations Dr. Jenkins!! 🥳

Our #Neuroscience graduate students recently hosted their annual Brainsrule! science outreach event for 350+ community middle school students. Thank you to all of the volunteers who made this incredible event happen! 🧠 #BrainPower #GoBlue #Michigan

2024 Brains Rule! is ready to begin!

@FogoGarrett Good luck Garrett!!

Tomorrow at 10am Zoom link: umich.zoom.us/j/96239413851 Meeting ID: 962 3941 3851 Passcode: fogo

@FelixJBerrios Congratulations!!! 🥳

I got my first grad school acceptance I am actually crying😭

@FelixJBerrios Make a list of general questions to ask the students and faculty in the case you run out of things to talk about! My favorite to ask was “why did YOU choose (insert school name)?” Best of luck 🤗

Grad school interviews are coming up! Any general advice?

@FelixJBerrios ^^me exactly 1 year ago - Good luck!! It’s stressful but worth it :)

Grad school apps are due in a couple of weeks 🫣 Feeling: Nervous

Congratulations @Huda_Akil1! The National Medal of Science! This recognition is so well-deserved. I still have goosebumps and a smile on my face from watching the ceremony. Thank you for all you have done for #neuroscience, @umich, and for me. ❤️💛💙

Thank you to my dog for single-handedly getting me through the electrophysiology and computational unit of neuro graduate school 😵‍💫🫶
