Today we're thrilled to announce our 2024 #HannaGrayFellows! Please join us in welcoming and celebrating these outstanding early career scientists!
I am thrilled to share that I am an HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow! 🥳🎉 I'm excited to join the outstanding @hhmi.bsky.social community. 🙌🏾 I am grateful to all the mentors who have inspired me and to all the friends and family who have supported me throughout my academic career. THANK YOU! 1/2
I learned so much from the @aicjanelia.bsky.social team at the #InsightFromImaging 2025 workshop this past week. Thank you so much! It was so fun and informative. I enjoyed the discussions between #HannaGrayFellows and the AIC team at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social. I’m off to do bioimaging experiments! 🔬

Hi #BIBPSRollCall! I’m the Founding President of #BlackInBiophysics. As a neuroscientist/biophysicist, I study the roles of voltage-gated ion channels in the mammalian retinal circuit using transgenic mice, electrophysiology and high-res imaging 👁️ I love family time and anime 🫶🏾
