Just submitted my revised MOSAIC K99/R00! I couldn’t be more excited about the chance to deepen our understanding of how alcohol impacts Alzheimer’s. The work ahead may be intense, but the potential discoveries make it all worthwhile. #neuroscience #NIH #WomenInSTEM

Some good news from my state in this dark, dark time. Time to get to work!

msnbc.com/politics/2024-elec… via @MSNBC That is me, now. I hope I don't lose my insurance.

Despite recent events, I’m excited to share that I submitted my revised K99/R00 to #NIAAA! Though it's hard not to feel disheartened with the state of things, science and discovery continue & I will never stop fighting for women #AcademicTwitter #WomenInScience #STEM

Just became a T32 postdoctoral scholar at the Center on Alcohol, Substance Use, And Addictions (CASAA) @UNM #CASAA I am sincerely looking forward to connecting/collaborating with this amazing group of talented/passionate researchers! #Neuroscience

I may be biased because I'm a #neuroscientist but dang, if this wasn't the best balloon at #AIBF2024 #BalloonFiesta #NewMexicoTrue #Brain #neuroscience

Happy #nationaldogday to those who celebrate! This is Furiosa, seen here posing with the cutest smile at @exnovobrewery in Corrales. Post-hike stoke for the patio!

Happy #Nationaldogday to everyone who celebrates! This is Carl, the cow dog, seen here cooling off, directly in the East Fork of the Jemez. We made him hike down a steep canyon in the summer. #newmexico #jemezriver

Digging through these #WGCNA genes set and Dido1 actually stands for Death Inducer-Obliterator 1..... ☠️ 💀 🪦 Not for the songstress made popular by Eminem.

Going through some #WGCNA data and just learned there is a gene called Dido1 and I all I can think of is:

My favorite part of visiting the gorgeous redwoods was watching some woman smoke a cigarette deep on the trail. #coolcoolcoolcool #wtf #thisiswhywecanthavenicethings #smdh

3 time zones, one refueling misshap, somehow 4 airports, weather delays, and a missed connection. I have no idea what day it is. I don't really wanna fly @SouthwestAir again. Hey @Delta what are your miles rewards/benefits? I need a new airplane zaddy!

And we are still here...waiting....will I ever reach my final destination? #southwestairlines

Let's hope this plane has enough gas @SouthwestAir . Finally boarded up on the LAST flight to my destination and even that was delayed 30 min. Are we still sitting at the gate? Yes of course. I should have landed 30 min ago, yet I am still in Denver.

Thanks to @SouthwestAir for not filling up your tank with enough fuel and making a "quick" trip to Wichita Falls to refuel causing me and many on this flight to miss connections. I hope I can make the last flight otherwise I'm sleeping at the airport?

My favorite part of flying is when we sit on the tarmac for an hour and don't move at all and then they decide they don't have enough fuel and have to turn around but then we are still sitting here. #southwestairlines #youdothingsdifferently ? Is it just badly?

Another one (K99) bites the dust, sadly. Guess I start on the resubmission process while I wait for the comments? Maybe this image will help? #grants #notdiscussed #nih #niaaa #neuro
