Postdoc at UC Irvine. Interested in how and when muscle modulate work during dynamic locomotion. Human rights are essential. I really only tweet about one of those things regularly. Let’s try this out.

Mia Goth and Lily-Rose Depp have this uncanny valley feeling about them and I just cannot handle looking at it on a screen. They are Tim Burton claymation come to life.

Come to my poster at SfN on Wednesday morning! I'll present my work on how the cerebellum uses internal models to control neocortical dynamics in a non-motor learning task. I'm biased, but I think it's pretty exciting! www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/21171...

How am I supposed to give medicine to an elderly dog that has the strength of 10 men and I can’t man handle cause she just had half her insides removed? Seriously any notes appreciated.

In my dream last night I was responding to reviewers for a manuscript that is taking forever to get published. Why would my brain betray me so?

This is for unincorporated Flagstaff, AZ. Some places where you have to haul your own water, not be connected to a sewage system, homes that used to be hunting camps that have no foundation, and not be able to vote in elections for the town. Is it so hard to agree that $700k + for that is crazy?
