Ten years ago, I restarted career in the Neuroscience program at Emory. I wanted the freedom drive my own research and chase what interested me. Thanks, @tamaragenes.bsky.social, Alberto Stolfi, @vansciver.bsky.social, and all the mentors for the training and support that brought me here.

Stand Up For Science next Friday (3/7)! In 2024, Georgia institutions received just over $1 billion in funding and had more than $30 billion in economic impact in GA. That's a PHENOMENAL return for tax payers- let's share that news!

Fund some labs, and you’ll reap a century of scientific dominance. Exactly what we did to you in 1930.

Hey, that's me. I'm that tall blurry guy! I had a blast teaching at MBL for the Colby College Jan Plan.
The MBL offers a variety of immersive experiences for undergraduates who are exploring careers in STEM 🧬
This January, @colbycollege.bsky.social students spent two weeks diving into MBL life and research in Woods Hole.
