Two things that undergrad me wouldn’t have believed about my first two years of grad school:
1 - that I’m not studying neuro and actually I’m studying cell biology??
2 - that I have bangs
Nonetheless I’m STOKED to continue studying speckle biology as a Ph.D. Candidate!!!!

Just published my first op-ed on an issue that’s lived in my drafts and heart for years: #Blackmaternalhealth.
Grateful to @kobedollazphd for co-writing bringing her expertise as a reproductive health scientist.

Went to a training this week and the question of whether scientists should be involved in sci-comm came up and only a few of us thought it was necessary. Today was a great reminder of why I do what I do. So enjoy some pics of my high schoolers rocking STEM! #pharm4GOOD

SO BASICALLY PUBLIC LIBRARIES ARE JUST 0.4% OF THE NEW YORK CITY BUDGET, BUT THE MAYOR IS TRYING TO CUT THE LIBRARY'S BUDGET WAY BACK. I’M TALKING $58.3 MILLION! LIBRARIES ARE ALREADY CLOSED ON SUNDAYS BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS CUTS AND MOST BRANCHES WILL BE OPEN FOR JUST FIVE DAYS A WEEK IF THESE CUTS GO THROUGH!! WE ONLY HAVE UNTIL THE END OF JUNE TO TELL @NYCMAYOR #NOCUTSTOLIBRARIES AND SAVE THE LIBRARY.
