Neuroimaging, neurorehabilitation, and handedness. Visiting Research Fellow @ Mayo; soon-to-be-former Asst Prof @ WashU & PI of Lateralization, Movement, & Plasticity lab.
And science fiction writer, but you’ll find that elsewhere under my pen name.

Curious about the brain mechanisms of handedness? If you're at #SfN25, we've got a poster this morning (397.01 at V5), and the work is now online as a preprint!
Here's the summary: 3 neural mechanisms that distinguish left vs. right hand drawing (in righties)🧪🧠 #neuroskyence #neurorehabilitation

Off to #SfN25! Bittersweet trip for me, but excited to share my mentees' work in #neuroskyence #neurorehabilitation.🧠🧪 Check these out:
1) Cortical organization predicts functional hand use vs. performance (Pstr 077.20, sat AM)
2) Neural mechanisms of non-dominant performance (Pstr 397.01, Wed AM)

The two pieces of advice I've given repeatedly at #ASNR2025:
1) When writing a grant (or paper), your biggest goal is to evoke a positive emotional response in your reader
2) To understand that effect you see in patients' brains, you probably need a better understanding of the healthy brain

I was just putting my #ASNR25 schedule into my calendar this morning, and getting excited for the symposium on behavioral economics for #neurorehabilitation!
We can't wait for #ASNR2025 next week, and we're excited to see everyone in Atlanta for a few days of excellent presentations, discussions, and networking! What are you looking forward to most at our 2025 Annual Meeting?

This is incredibly upsetting. While the effects of these cancellations are clear to academics, we need to ensure that the wider public is not only aware of what's happening, but also understands how much damage this will cause to health and medical infrastructure, tech innovation, and higher ed.
This will start to filter through the community today but the Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Science Study section has been postponed to an unknown future date. The approvals at the highest levels that needed to happen for a federal review meeting to be held didn’t get done. 1/n
