What a way to end my first @winter_brain! So honored to win the Grand Prize Outstanding Poster Award for our work using nIRCat to study Huntington’s Disease. Feels about as thrilling as learning to ski for the first time this weekend! ⛷️
It’s alive🤩! The preprint for our work using nIRCat to study dopamine release in Huntington’s Disease is out. Huge thanks to @M_delCarpio and Dave for going all in on our project brainstorm five years ago. First-year Sarah would be amazed her idea made it this far. Thread otw!

Here’s a hot take that might lose me some friends 🤷🏻♀️ but it seems obv:
Grad students are the lifeblood of academia. We must raise their stipends above the poverty line so they can focus on research instead of survival.
When the union strikes, we (PIs) should strike with them.
I’m in Montreal for #Dopamine2022! Stop by poster 4-D-18 or my selected short talk in session 35 to learn about how we’re using nanotubes to illuminate dopamine dynamics during Huntington’s Disease!
Had a wonderful time meeting all the Utah neuroscience rising stars ✨. Sad that I couldn’t stay long enough to be in the picture and see this spectacular view!
Wrapping up an awesome 2022 Rising Stars in Neuroscience symposium. Such an honor to be able to host this group of stars and share our neuroscience community at Utah! Thanks for the amazing effort from all the stars, @UUNeurobiology faculty mentors and students hosts!
With my thesis finished and sent off for revisions, I'm excited to finally announce after I finish up at @UCB_Chemistry, I will be joining DOE's Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office as an ORISE Hydrogen Shot Fellow @ExperienceORISE in Colorado!
Thank you to Ulises Mejias, EdD, @txiaohui, PhD, & @htsuka for addressing the questions & issues surrounding today’s data economy as it relates to privacy rights! #SEPS2022@UCB_SciPolicy
