Lab in Multisensory Neuroscience

I find it interesting that so many are surprised Independent women are breaking for Harris, or that Boomer women are lining up for her. Independent means we have our own minds. Boomer means we have been through it. We have fought like hell in so many arenas—for sure we are not going back. We’ve always been surprising, get ready for our biggest suprise yet! 🙌

Trump plans on putting RFK Jr in charge of the public health agencies that fund scientific research in the USA. This is a serious threat to science and just one of many reasons why I’m voting for #Harris_Walz2024. Protect science. Protect liberty. Protect our democracy.

A recent Carnegie Mellon University study explored the influence of melanin on near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), an optical tool that leverages light-tissue interaction to measure changes in hemoglobin concentration and oxygenation. cmu.edu/bme/News_Event…

. @cmu_bme courtesy faculty member @ShinnCunningham has been named the Glen de Vries Dean of Carnegie Mellon's Mellon College of Science! 👏 👏👏cmu.edu/bme/News_Event…

Hey we are hiring! Would love to have some colleagues at Emory in BME working in sensorimotor systems and related technologies that cross the basic/clinical divide!

A @cmu_bme-led team of researchers has received an @ARPA_H award of up to $34.9 million to fast track the development and testing of a bioelectric medicine-based treatment to more affordably treat patients with obesity and Type 2 diabetes. @cmu_mse engineering.cmu.edu/news-events/ne…

I am excited for this next challenge. cmu.edu/news/stories/a…

.@cmu_bme undergraduates pursuing an additional BME degree recently visited Bayer in Indianola, PA, for Bayer's University Day! They explored Bayer's radiology division, toured R&D labs, and networked with employees about company culture and career paths for BME students.

New preprint with @maddox_lab!

Pittsburgh is an amazing place and our colleagues at Pitt CSD are wonderful!

#PittCSD is accepting applications for an Assistant/Associate/Full Professor! Apply here: cfopitt.taleo.net/careersection/… #PittSHRS

Thrilled that this work, led by the outstanding @BioMatheus is finally out in @CurrentBiology today! Check it out! cell.com/current-biolog…

The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control. Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture. I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return.

.@cmu_bme is thrilled to announce the recent promotions of two faculty members: Dr. Jana Kainerstorfer, who has been promoted to Professor and will assume the role of Associate Dept. Head for Faculty and Graduate Affairs, and Dr. Rosalyn Abbott, promoted to Associate Professor.
