Extraordinarily proud of the very first members of the Gildawie Lab (Abby Rish & Sandra Bartlett) for presenting their projects at the Simmons STEM Colloquium!

I’m so excited to keep working with them this summer and continue growing this amazing team!

The face of a very tired but happy #newprof who just finished her last day of teaching for her first semester as an assistant professor!! 😮‍💨

Still have finals next week, but the end is in sight!

Now it’s time to start reading applications for my first undergraduate researchers 🥲

👋🏻 Hi, it’s been a while! A couple things have changed:

This semester I started my dream job as an Assistant Professor at my alma mater, Simmons University! I’m so grateful to teach and work with these amazing students every day!

Please enjoy photographic evidence of my lifelong academic dream 👇🏻

👋🏻 Quick intro:

I’m Kelsea & I’m a postdoc at Tufts studying the developmental impacts of early life adversity and prenatal opioid exposure in rats 🐁💉💊

I also teach biopsych at Simmons (my alma mater ❤️) and hope to get a tenure-track position at a PUI in the coming years 🤞🏻

& I love microscopes! 🔬
