Beautiful!
Ok one more for #MicroscopyMonday b/c it was a very fun afternoon. This is from live tissue. Auditory neurons in magenta & their friends (including satellite cells) in green. Big thx to @jessdixonneuro.bsky.social for being generous w/ reagents #ScienceSisters Imaged on FLIMmer @ HMS MicRoN core.

It was so special to present at the Museum of Science today! Science communication is more important than ever

Overjoyed to be joining the @hhmi.org community! I’m so grateful for Lisa’s mentorship and the Goodrich lab's training environment. So proud that my friend and fellow PNS glia researcher, Maryam Dadabhoy (Rao lab), was selected too!

Returning from a great #2025ICDB in PR. Heading back to Harvard with a bit more hope. My cup is full

I am having a great time at my first SDB conference! If you are interested in PNS glia or SCP migration, please check out my poster this afternoon (B108, abstract 334)! #ICDB2025

Thinking of my alma mater FSU today. Heartbroken by the brutal attack. A place of learning should always be safe for students, staff, and faculty

I’ve had an amazing time at #ARO2025. I’ve learned about all sorts of new and exciting things. But have also felt the absence of our amazing NIDCD colleagues, many of whom were supposed to present posters near me. Everyone benefits from scientists being able to share their work.

My 90-year-old grandpa is a retired science educator. He came to visit me after today’s #ARO2025 sessions for my 25th birthday. He was so excited to peek into the poster hall.

I’m excited to present my first poster of my PhD at #ARO2025! If you are interested in glia, time-lapse imaging, and/or cochlear development, stop by my poster at 1 pm today :)

I’m at the intersection of glial biology, the auditory field, and collective migration. I’m excited to connect with these communities here :)

I research PNS glial precursor (GP) migration in the developing cochlea. There is so much to learn about how mammalian GPs reach their final destinations!
