The wanderer. The clown. The chairman.

President and CEO, @alleninstitute.org

Opinions are my own.
Grateful to our new artist-in-residence Refik Anadol for visiting the @alleninstitute.org and sharing his vision for blending art, science, and tech.

His talk was a reminder that data is more than numbers. It can spark curiosity, creativity, and connection. Excited for what’s next. #ScienceMatters

This World Mental Health Day, I’m reflecting on the science, people, and shared responsibility to build a future where mental health is supported and prioritized.

Understanding the brain and the physiological mechanisms behind mental health is important to confront mental health challenges.

Both science and art are driven by curiosity, creativity, and a desire to understand our world. #AtAllenInstitute, we celebrate the role creativity plays in scientific discovery. Here's an excerpt from an insightful discussion I had with Scott Stulen, CEO of @seattleartmuseum.bsky.social.

On #TeacherAppreciationDay, I reflect on the pivotal role of educators in my life. From my vet school days to my pursuit of neuroscience, teachers have been the guiding lights on my journey. Their belief in my potential gave me the courage to follow my passion, even when the path was uncertain.

Mental health is health. As a neuroscientist and optimist, I’m proud of the work happening at @alleninstitute.bsky.social and beyond that is paving the way to a brighter future.

One of my favorite ways to unwind and support my own mental health is walking my dog! #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth
