Coming up on 1 month post-surgery, have completed 60 days of EMA, 20 sessions of MRI, 16 sessions of fNIRS, 20 sessions of EEG, not to mention blood, saliva, and a host of other data collection. It's been super fun to hang out with folks in my colleagues' labs. (Also a little exhausting!)

How good is the MR data we'll be sharing as part of this deep phenotyping study? So good that someone asked if Jonathan was sedated while viewing his resting-state data collection 😆 Watch this space!
I’m scheduled for surgery today on my Achilles tendon, followed by 2 weeks of no weight bearing.😵💫
So, like any good scientist, I got together 7 colleagues to study consequences of limb disuse.

I am BEYOND grateful & honestly still in shock about the lovely comments from the anonymous external letter writers on my tenure case! I don't know who I'm thanking, but I hope you see this and know that I will treasure these always and they meant the world to get (we see anon. quotes)! THANK YOU!
I submitted tenure materials! There is so much to be done still, but I am proud of what we've done already since 2020. I am more grateful than I have words for my lab members, my mentors, my family. May there be many more full and fulfilling years ahead in this academy.
