Twitter fam, thank you for helping me to find the family of the 9 year old girl from NJ who had the police called on her by her neighbor for collecting lantern flies. I connected with them & invited them to @yale for a Black girl led Science Tour! Yesterday—HISTORY was MADE (1/)

This morning I got the email that my first paper was published in BMC plant Biology. (I'm the second author!)

I am grateful to everyone who has shown me love and support along this amazing science journey. I am so excited for whatever comes next.
