I am a neuroscientist exploring the intersection of alcohol and Alzheimer's disease using EEG, behavior and chemogenetics. #WomeninScience

Just submitted my revised MOSAIC K99/R00! I couldn’t be more excited about the chance to deepen our understanding of how alcohol impacts Alzheimer’s. The work ahead may be intense, but the potential discoveries make it all worthwhile. #neuroscience #NIH #WomenInSTEM

Despite recent events, I’m excited to share that I submitted my revised K99/R00 to #NIAAA! Though it's hard not to feel disheartened with the state of things, science and discovery continue & I will never stop fighting for women #AcademicTwitter #WomenInScience #STEM

Just became a T32 postdoctoral scholar at the Center on Alcohol, Substance Use, And Addictions (CASAA) @UNM #CASAA I am sincerely looking forward to connecting/collaborating with this amazing group of talented/passionate researchers! #Neuroscience

I may be biased because I'm a #neuroscientist but dang, if this wasn't the best balloon at #AIBF2024 #BalloonFiesta #NewMexicoTrue #Brain #neuroscience

@mike_feigin Don't offer any of your postdocs #paidparentalleave because they aren't technically students nor are they staff. Are they people? How many universities actually offer PPL to Postdocs? When will you @UNM ?

Happy #nationaldogday to those who celebrate! This is Furiosa, seen here posing with the cutest smile at @exnovobrewery in Corrales. Post-hike stoke for the patio!

Happy #Nationaldogday to everyone who celebrates! This is Carl, the cow dog, seen here cooling off, directly in the East Fork of the Jemez. We made him hike down a steep canyon in the summer. #newmexico #jemezriver

Digging through these #WGCNA genes set and Dido1 actually stands for Death Inducer-Obliterator 1..... ☠️ 💀 🪦 Not for the songstress made popular by Eminem.

Going through some #WGCNA data and just learned there is a gene called Dido1 and I all I can think of is:

My favorite part of visiting the gorgeous redwoods was watching some woman smoke a cigarette deep on the trail. #coolcoolcoolcool #wtf #thisiswhywecanthavenicethings #smdh

3 time zones, one refueling misshap, somehow 4 airports, weather delays, and a missed connection. I have no idea what day it is. I don't really wanna fly @SouthwestAir again. Hey @Delta what are your miles rewards/benefits? I need a new airplane zaddy!

[Nikki Maphis @Neuronikki]

And we are still here...waiting....will I ever reach my final destination? #southwestairlines

[Nikki Maphis @Neuronikki]

Let's hope this plane has enough gas @SouthwestAir . Finally boarded up on the LAST flight to my destination and even that was delayed 30 min. Are we still sitting at the gate? Yes of course. I should have landed 30 min ago, yet I am still in Denver.

[Nikki Maphis @Neuronikki]

@SouthwestAir Getting to my original destination 4 hours later is better than crashing because you ran out of gas, I guess.

[Nikki Maphis @Neuronikki]

Thanks to @SouthwestAir for not filling up your tank with enough fuel and making a "quick" trip to Wichita Falls to refuel causing me and many on this flight to miss connections. I hope I can make the last flight otherwise I'm sleeping at the airport?
