Hey, I’m Joanna!

I’m an upcoming graduate from the Behavioral Neuroscience program at UAB. I study health disparities in pain and substance use in Black folks, queer folks and people with HIV. I’m also looking for a postdoc 🥰 #BlackInNeuroRollCall

Don't forget to pause and to celebrate the successes of your professional life!

Start living. The days are flying by. You weren't born to just work, pay bills and die. Enjoy what you can: walks, sunsets, music, laughter and nature. Joy doesn't have to be expensive. You deserve it.

#USASP was amazing! So happy to be in a space full of groundbreaking scientists. Until next time ❤️

Also, if you’re a postdoc and actively looking, I’m happy to share tips!

Current professors: if you have any tips for how you did your job search please let me know! I’m going on the market soon and wanna be prepared. 🫶🏾

I’m just happy to be here.

The HIV CPR conference is one of the most intentional, welcoming & compassionate spaces I’ve been in.

[Jo 🤍 @idoscience_]

From the representation, to the acknowledgement of struggle, & the lived experiences shared.. whew. This has to be a every year thing.

For all of the seasons you planted and didn’t see results, may your harvest this year exceed your expectations.

The fact that I’m remaking this journal 🥹 I can’t wait to see how it looks when I finish.

[Jo 🤍 @idoscience_]

Hey #WritingCommmunity !

I recently defended my dissertation on the effects of discrimination on pain, vigilance, and substance use in people with #HIV. I’m currently working on a journal for black women titled Black Women Are Mentally Tired. Coming soon 🥰

Period fatigue is absolutely unnecessary

One thing adulting has taught me is that I am not above anything. Literally anything can happen. Hence I must never be too quick to speak over situations I’ve never found myself in. No one is above anything not even your good actions can save you from your fair share of trials.
