Being a SNIP student is the reason I’m in grad school today and was such a rewarding experience that I highly recommend! Let any undergrad friends know to apply and feel free to reach out~

Thank you to everyone who came by my poster this afternoon 🖤 I had some amazing discussions and days like these remind me why I love science 🧠

After 7 years in research I finally made it to my first SfN! Come say hi and see some pretty fluorescent brain sections at my poster tomorrow afternoon 🧠💕#SfN22

my mom said we can ignore the assumption of normality if its okay with your mom

Also shoutout to all my amazing co-authors @carlylogan26 @AbbiHernandez24 @SeanMTurn @theta_monkey, those not on Twitter (John, Cory, and Katelyn), and the best and most supportive PI @saranburke24

My 1st first-author publication is finally here! It builds upon our studies of the role of the perforant path in age-related cog decline. “Unilateral Perforant Path Transection Does Not Alter Lateral Entorhinal Cortical or Hippocampal CA3 Arc Expression” frontiersin.org/article/10.338…

As a gamer scientist with some background in philosophy this paper was pretty unique and interesting! It took me back to Logic classes, and I think video games are so commonplace now we don’t often think hard about these weird moral distinctions from real life

@carlylogan26 It was so much easier than the first two for me side effects wise, I hope it goes well for you!

Womaned up and made our booster appointments today 💪🏻 (I’m scared 🥺)

PAID internship in neuroscience at the University of Florida!! Pass this along to any undergraduates! It is an amazing opportunity. 🤩

Shazam but for finding science references

@cupidtraps @saranburke24 Thank you!!❤️

My break from social media is over now because today I passed my qualifying exam!!! Thank you to @saranburke24 for being the greatest PI and to the rest of my committee for the incredible feedback. I’m more excited for my project than ever 🧠💕

@carlylogan26 It was so much fun and you are an incredible teacher, thanks for showing me the ropes ❤️

Today @taralcooper and I had an awesome opportunity to give a lecture on Psychological Disorders and therapy options. She killed her first teaching experience 🍎 I think we made a great team! #AcademicTwitter

@KelseyTatePark Wait we also had a Gatsby themed Prom in 2014 😂

I love how Casey Gause, TEA standards for high school English classes, and Warner Bros Pictures all conspired to spark a Great Gatsby craze at Boswell High from like 2013-2014 😂 it became our PROM theme!!!

@lentzrookie @machinegunkelly @Corpse_Husband I saw this and cannot wait

DAYWALKER! feat. @Corpse_Husband this friday 🔨🦷🩸

@carlylogan26 Thank you ❤️❤️ I’m getting more comfortable with Zoom finally lol

@taralcooper You kicked ass today 🤩💪🏻

One day I’ll give a seminar presentation where I answer audience questions well during the talk rather than having an epiphany immediately once the Zoom ends and adrenaline wears off, but today was not that day 😅

@grace_V17 It’s something that started as a networking thing for Critical Language Scholarship alumni and 5 of us were grouped bc we’re in neuro related fields but we turned it into a fun jc! We had a great discussion on consciousness recently

@grace_V17 Honestly I would love a journal club with you and Nick for all the philosophical questions and thoughts floating around in my brain 😭 I have one like that on the weekends and it’s my favorite
