I defended my dissertation this week (with no edits 🥹)! So proud to be able to do this work, and very grateful to my committee and advisors

#MSMILAN2023: Dr. Arpita Gopal (UCSF) – researchers detected changes in function by analyzing “self-care selfies” – videos of buttoning, brushing teeth, and eating; possibly a low-cost way to track progression/assess treatment effectiveness.

Listening to digital health business pitches at #sxsw…so many entrepreneurs are out of touch with the reality of on-the-ground clinical work. Would love to see more clinicians in this space, which is why I admire the work of @webby_do, @drhemalee, & more / cc: @chrissyfarr

I’m a biologist in a film: No matter what I’m looking at, it’ll be through a low-power light microscope. The sample will also be on a sealed slide but moving. I work for a super villain at a private company, never an academic lab. I don’t struggle calculating moles or dilutions.

My manuscript wasn't rejected 🙏
Wasn't accepted, either. Just wasn't rejected today 💯

I was talking to a physical therapist about neck exercises for my chronic neck pain & she described one of the movements as "what you do when someone gross tries to kiss you," & that was so epically perfect we are now best friends forever.
