I am excited to be at #PEQG22 and to share some of the work I have been doing with @paulrschmidt— Poster 379T. This work is in collaboration with @LaurenMMcIntyr1 lab. @GeneticsGSA, you should take the poster session to the beach 😃. 👇🏾📸 Sunset on my first night here.

I did my PhD with @KingLabMU. Phenomenal mentor, great lab environment, and cool research! My passion for PEQG #peqg22 started there. If you have any questions please reach out.

This is a kind reminder to some PIs in academia:

STOP,
TAKE A STEP BACK,
and PURGE yourself from toxic behaviors and unrealistic expectations.

Happy Friday y'all! 🤗

This is great news @HHMINEWS!

As proud past Gilliam Fellow, I have firsthand experience of the power of investing in diversity.

Thanks for investing in me and the future of science!
