#BlackLivesMatter. Dad. Mentor. Neuroscientist. Neurobiological mechanisms linking adolescent trauma to obesity. 🇵🇷🇻🇪🇩🇴 Opinions are my own.
#SFN25 was truly unforgettable. Grateful for the chance to share this experience with my family, current and former lab members, and the long-time friends and mentors who continue to shape my journey. Moments like these remind me why we do what we do. @sfn.org #sfn2025

Good morning! ☀️

If you’re at #sfn25 swing by Board Z5 and check out our work on sex differences in a rat model of binge eating.

We’d love your insights, feedback, and conversations that help shape where this science goes next.
Come say hi! 🧠🐀🍫✨#sfn2025

Still processing an unforgettable summer. What began as a season to inspire students ended with them inspiring me. Their curiosity, grit, and humanity lit up the FigNeuroLab. Thank you for making #EpicSummerResearch2025 one for the books. 💫
