Professor, she/her. Engineering chemo for better treatment of CNS disease. All things nanomedicine and the subarachnoid space. *opinions are my own

[Dr. Rachael Sirianni @SirianniLab]

Where do #nanoparticles go after they're injected into cerebrospinal fluid? Everywhere, and that's a good thing. We're banking that this approach can be used to engineer better chemotherapy to treat pediatric brain cancer https://t.co/m6ABCZxENq

ChatGTP generates false citations, reliably, as a matter of practice. These papers do not exist and instead pull together plausible authors and titles with explicit citation to incorrect or fabricated DOIs. This is reproducible for any topic and is extremely concerning

[Dr. Rachael Sirianni @SirianniLab]

@NiuSanford I'm so sorry for your loss. As a mother, there are no words. We will keep fighting for better treatments for pediatric malignancies

@RiceEngineering @Rice_BIOE @veiseho @gatesfoundation @RiceUNews Congratulations Omid!! Wonderful news! @veiseho

@AcademicChatter Feedback from senior scholar: claimed I was "not sufficiently deferent" to work with. Amazing, as I was beyond star-struck (he was considered for Nobel), eager to learn, and acquiesced to every single pref on the draft grant we ended up not writing together. I simply had ideas

[Dr. Rachael Sirianni @SirianniLab]

This looks like a great program. I registered a few weeks ago and got an email today that they need more volunteers - deadline to sign up is *tomorrow*! https://t.co/iPEQlcuzwo

[Dr. Rachael Sirianni @SirianniLab]

I'm hiring at all levels! Research assistant, postdoc, and research associate (search ummsjobs for other positions). We've got some good projects ready to go 😍 -- apply directly via the link below, or email me at [email protected]

Interesting cross sectional view of spine, spinal cord, and nerve roots.

@UMassNeuroSurg Thank you! So glad to be here 😍

[Dr. Rachael Sirianni @SirianniLab]

Accurate, and occasionally (hopefully not too often) guilty as charged 🤣 #itsnotahorse

[Dr. Rachael Sirianni @SirianniLab]

Looking forward to giving a talk on intrathecal drug delivery at the Barriers of the CNS GRC @GordonConf Currently debating how badly my pun-y humor is going to flop as a title slide 🤣 Tortuosity of our cross country road trip was shockingly close to that of brain parenchyma...

[Dr. Rachael Sirianni @SirianniLab]

Back to an in-person conference for the first time in 2 years 😱 thrilled to be at @ASNeurochem and looking forward to giving a talk on CNS drug delivery later today!

[Dr. Rachael Sirianni @SirianniLab]

Absolute gold 🤣🤣

[Dr. Rachael Sirianni @SirianniLab]

@SiegenthalerLab Easily 10+

[Dr. Rachael Sirianni @SirianniLab]

@rp_mccord @petra_vertes @pollyp1 @aaronclauset @NatureComms What I'm struggling with is that this inherently rewards the publisher and the authors (via citations) for letting something shoddy pass peer review. It's no surprise in some ways that they published this, because the controversy will ultimately benefit the people involved

[Dr. Rachael Sirianni @SirianniLab]

@PamKreeger My 10 year old is itching for a hamster. I have defaulted to my rodent allergy as a reason why not 😆 But lizards are very fun. I hope you all enjoy!

[Dr. Rachael Sirianni @SirianniLab]

@PamKreeger Spork was a result of prior pandemic pets, including two green anoles caught from our yard - have since raised five hatchling lizards out of their eggs 🤣 my kids are obsessed. This one is Zipper. Lizards make surprisingly great family pets!

[Dr. Rachael Sirianni @SirianniLab]

@PamKreeger Pumpkin meet Spork, our bearded dragon 😆
