My talented undergrad student, Adyasha Aruk showing off her cryomolds from organoids she cut (each mold is 1-2 hours). I might make it into a trophy 👀

Can't believe I'm graduating with my PhD in Neuro in 10 days. I loved my dissertation project, studying the neurodevelopmental impact of APOE, and the implications on Alzheimer's. Starting over from Twitter, please help me meet more neuro enthusiasts that love research in Alz, glia, and APOE!

My second science card for my husband (also PhD), interested in aging research. Fun fact, naked mole rates like like 27 years, the longest relative life span to most rodent species. Anyone know why?
