Extremely excited to share our @TrendsNeuro review today! Prenatal opioid exposure is a growing area of research, and the studies discussed in this review showcase some of the emerging preclinical research that is being conducted.

On Friday, my best friend @zoeyamiller defended and became Dr. Zoey Miller! This morning I ran my first marathon! A milestone weekend and truly one for the books 🫶🏼

Extremely grateful to have been awarded my NRSA F31 from NIDA 🥳Many thanks to my fantastic PI @julieblendy, @sachslabnova for endless support, and everyone else who has helped and supported my research!

post-conference mini vacation to Rocky Mountain National Park with views so beautiful I had to share🏔

Incredibly grateful to have been selected to share some of my research at the @MAPS_ASPET annual meeting today and represent @PGGUPenn!

Very excited to represent @PGGUPenn and my lab @julieblendy at @MAPS_ASPET! Looking forward to a great meeting

It was a great weekend to be in Philadelphia- celebrating a Phillies win with some great @PGGUPenn friends followed by an Eagles win on Sunday! ⚾️🦅

And of course a huge thank you to @kevansf for joining us yesterday and giving a great keynote address! It was a pleasure getting to meet you and learn from you

Endlessly grateful for an amazing cohort who helped organize our annual symposium. A fantastic day filled with great science and lots of friends!

Could not be more proud of our #SUIP student @sofiabennetts, who completed her summer program yesterday! Sofia is a fantastic scientist, creative thinker, and a wonderful presence in the lab- it was an honor to be your mentor. The Blendy lab will miss you!

Having a great time so far at #EB2022 sharing my work and learning from others! Ben is an amazing mentor and PI, and there's no chance I would be where I am today without him. Great to catch up and see new faces too!

I'll be there! Come see me present my poster Sunday, April 3, and let me tell you all about the effects of early life opioid exposure in mice!

Juliet, one of the most talented scientists and artists I know, made me this beautiful embroidered lab coat 🧠 I am so grateful to have lab mates who create such a loving and creative environment!

celebrating the near-end of the semester with my first in-person game in over a year: undergrad vs grad school edition (though it's pretty obvious who I'll be cheering for!)✌️

A great thread! Maybe a good read for some of my first year friends taking fun pharm?

great @PsytechGlobal talk today featuring David Nichols, Gul Dolen, and David Olson: Does there need to be a “trip” involved when using psychedelics to treat disorders? amazing to hear the perspective from both the medicinal chemistry side and from the neuroscience side!

another post rotation talk in the books! thankful that even during this crazy time I’m still able to conduct some amazing research during my rotations

my amazing friend Montana is first author on this Cell Reports paper! so proud of her and all her hard work- happy to be on this science journey with you!

So exciting! Fun fact: @Astro_Doug is from my hometown!
