Time flies...can't believe it has been 3 years already! Grateful for the amazing team of scientists that have assembled! 3⃣🥳🎉

I'm thrilled to announce that I've been awarded the NARSAD Young Investigator Grant from @BBRFoundation! I am grateful for this incredible opportunity and can’t wait to embark on this exciting journey!

Had an amazing time presenting my research project @CortexGrc. Met a lot of great scientists and made lots of friends. I’d like to thank my Pi Dr. Sun @mus_elegans and the GRC chairs for giving me the opportunity to attend this wonderful meeting.

Well, I was preparing to submit another grant, when I noticed: “Permanent Residents or US citizens only.” So how’s your day going?

1/🧵 I’m excited to share the next portion of my dissertation work examining alternative splicing in a rare disease is now on bioRxiv! 🎉 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thanks to my coauthors @tchowton @tabea_soelter @bnlasse and also @jordan_whitlock for generating this great dataset

I'm happy to announce that I will join @UMBCBiology as an assistant professor this August. I will be part of the first UM-FIRST cohort. The Muñoz-Ballester lab will study how astrocytes response to injury is modulated by sex, with a special focus on mild traumatic brain injury

Congrats to @Dcpatterson0713, Sharrell Greene, and Gabbi Prince for designing the cover image! Check out the review article in the issue by Gabbi, @MollyRey_nolds9, @VerdionM and myself!

Happy news #3, our review co-authored by Gabbi Prince, @VerdionM, @MollyRey_nolds9 is out @TrendsGenetics! We describe recent characterizations of the functional and molecular changes that neurons undergo across postnatal development across the animal kingdom, with a focus on🐭

Congratulations to @MollyRey_nolds9 for receiving the prestigious Barry Goldwater Scholarship!!! 🎉🎉🎉 @UABCDIB @UABNews #HappyNewsFriday #ProudPI

This story is one of several from our time at UAB. I want to thank my past and present lab members for contributing, especially @VerdionM for starting it as my first lab member. Unpacking takes priority over writing a full summary, but I want to highlight my favorite findings:

Sun Lab turns 2!🥳So proud of all the accomplishments for the lab in the past year #ProudPI. To celebrate the lab's birthday, we have an updated website. Check us out at sunlaboratory.org!

You can take the C(anadian) 🇨🇦 to the South but you can’t take the C(urling) 🥌 out of the Canadian. #SunLabGoesCurling

Feeling inspired after the awesome trainee-led @UABCDIB departmental retreat followed by the 1st Sun Lab retreat! Can’t wait to see how all the awesome projects evolve from the department and the lab!

CDIB had a great time at Lake Guntersville State Park for this years retreat!

Had the best time representing #TeamKordower at the ASAP CRN meeting and didn’t do too badly snagging the Community Poster Award🙂🤞🏾 @ASAP_Research @HarmsLabUAB #CRNSanDiego2023
