I'm so glad I also got the chance to talk with
@bealuna55 @Pitt_Brain when she was one of the keynote speakers at the @URNeuroscience
Symposium last year. Listen to our NeURoscience Perspectives #podcast & learn more about her research & journey! (2/2)

Very humbled and thrilled to be the recipient of the Flux Huttenlocher Award in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. An award I developed 10 years ago with the hope that one day I may be considered. A heartfelt thank you to the members and the board for their support.
