I submitted my first first-author paper this week! 🤞🏻
In this paper, I examined the effect that neuropathic pain could potentially have on drug-seeking behavior, & how this could affect specific neurons (ensembles) in the PFC.

“Stellate produced a phenomenal new website for my lab. Their designs captured the energy, aesthetics, technology & science that define our group... It was a wonderful experience & I would certainly do it again!”
Congrats on launch, @mjhigley 🚀 https://t.co/slByaKifiN
Congrats to @RhienEHare for being one of the top women in PR 🎉
Every year, @PRNews recognizes an elite group of women shaping the future of comms. Rhien is a 2026 Rising Star awardee — a category for those making a mark early in their careers.
Watch out world! 🧪🌍🔭
At Stellate, we recognize #SciComm must happen at every level, and sometimes, it goes deeper than the message itself.
Our own @BaileyCSarka at #SciTalk26 will share real-world insights on building communication bridges to reach rural populations. Stop by her talk! 👇
You've been meaning to break ground on your website for months... or longer...
✨ Site Lab exists for exactly this ✨
Hand us content + a few aesthetic preferences, and we build it — color palette, fonts, layout, mobile optimization —& then launch it🚀

One of the most valuable things trainees can see is how scientists think through uncertainty.
We do this at #MPMD. Each PI brings a question instead of a talk—and we work through it together.
It's a highly generative format. Would love to see more meetings like this one.
Not every website starts from the same place... & not every budget does either ✨
We offer 3 web packages built for different stages, timelines & goals. Fully bespoke custom builds, to a launched site in a month — see how they compare 👇🏽

🧵Our new preprint shows how the brain develops to transform how kids, teens & adults represent & navigate their world: shifting from local, moment-to-moment memories in childhood to integrated, global cognitive maps in adulthood.

(1/6) We have a new paper out in #eNeuro!
How does the brain’s reward processing change across social contexts? We mapped brain activity (cFos) & found that social context reshapes how reward circuits are coordinated🐭🏆

🧠 Did you know kids remember time differently than adults? Our new preprint review w/ Dr. Jeni Pathman discusses the real implications for juvenile justice & why we need to ask about timing in ways that match kids' developing brains ⚖️

I was going to write a whole post about all this incredible work with all these amazing scientists and organizations, but I’ll just leave @stellatecomms' design sizzle reel here.
It speaks for itself ✨
