My 3-year-old is also very proud of herself for trying her first doughnut this morning. She’s been doing oral immunotherapy for a milk allergy since just after her 1st birthday, and this was a very exciting win!

The best kind of news to wake up to! So grateful to learn that my Loan Repayment Program award has been renewed for a third year by NIDA. These types of programs are life-changing for early career folx, and have enabled me to pursue a career in research (even if it isn’t the most lucrative option).

As of last week, I’m on leave for the next few months soaking up all the snuggles I can from this tiny one - work can wait ❤️

I am recruiting a postgraduate research associate to join my lab at Yale starting this summer! This would be an ideal position for a graduating senior looking for hands-on research training in preparation for applying to grad school. Please share with your amazing students!
