Well the NIH definitely gave me a lesson in patience, but this summer brought 2 NOAs (R15 and R03)! Looking forward to working with and learning from the great @lyoun03.

The rewards of teaching neuroscience to undergrads…

@marypatton2 @uthsc Congrats! They are lucky to have you.

✴️THRILLED to announce I’ll be starting my lab in the Dept of Anatomy & Neurobio at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (@uthsc) early 2025!! I’m not at #sfn2024 #SfN24 this year, but trainees at all levels stop by the grad fair to get info on my research program!!

We’ve got lots of poster action left at #SfN2024 - 2 on Tuesday morning and 2 on Wednesday afternoon. Bring it!

@uofmcas Plus Madiha Syeda from my lab 😊

It’s gratifying getting recognition @ home from your own institution! I’m particularly excited to receive this year’s recognition from @EmoryMedicine School of Medicine after ~29yrs @EmoryUniversity. Not possible without trainee contributions! Mom will finally hear my talk!

This is a record year for undergrad researchers in my lab. These students are killing it at #SfN2022. Need grad students?! The neuro folks at Memphis (including @SimonNeuroLab and @sable_helen) are helping to prep some great ones. @SfNtweets

Coming in hot with 9 posters and very little sleep… but the Lester lab can’t wait to make up for lost SfN time! Bring it @SfNtweets
