We are PUSHING THE LIMITS of neuromodulation therapies @UCLASemel! My lab is working on developing a safe treatment that targets DEEPER brain regions that current neuromodulation treatments (ie TMS/ECT) are unable to reach. Read more on my @OHBM poster for #OHBM2020 :)

It’s the responsibility of a lifetime to get to put forth and activate a vision to eradicate metastasis. So grateful the Hutch is providing this opportunity, and for the partnership of our amazing scientists, oncologists and advocates. (1/3)

@GhajarLab @FredHutch_Met_X Small things have immense impact. The @GhajarLab culture set the tone for how I approached research. It brings me so much joy to see its influence expand!

@AlexMiner93 STEM-based writers have unique perspectives that bridge cultural and academic gaps. The rise of misinformation dilemmas by the pandemic has underscored its importance.

What accounts/topics would you suggest for those intrigued by this intersect?

@GhajarLab @fredhutch Thank you for such kind sentiments, Cyrus. We are so honored :)

May 2022 bring more joy and discoveries to come!

[Bianca Hoang-Dang @bianca_hd_]

Reading this thread reminded me how and why I fell in love with research.

The brain was the niche I focused on during my internship with Cyrus way back in 2015, so this milestone holds a special spot in my heart :)

Kudos to you and your team, Cyrus!

@umairdurrani87 @patrickmineault LOL accurate! I’ve learned so much over the past three years. Now in the analysis phase, I thank myself every time I refer to my notes.

Thank you for making this @patrickmineault. Excited to dig in before we begin new projects
