Paper with @estef_azevedo accepted just minutes to spare before my first lab grant was submitted. The grant that I thought there was no way I would finish as we did a long-distance move with 2 kids and no childcare. It's been a crazy few weeks!

Feels strange to post a celebratory photo with what’s going on in the world, but I’m so proud of my lab members! Deuce joined our lab for his PhD research, Yang-Sun got into a PhD program and Postdoc @mariajoseoc2 had her last PhD paper accepted! Congrats 🍾!

Putting the finishing touches on my external advisory committee presentation and regardless of how it goes tomorrow, I’m feeling quite proud of my little lab of <2yrs and all we’ve done so far. ☺️

If there's one hill I would die on it's that peer review should be double-blinded.

Thinking of my husbands grandparents who passed away last year and how my kids will not get to hear their stories firsthand. As Holocaust survivors continue to age, it is more important than ever that we remember their stories. #HolocaustRemembranceDay

Every year at around this time I look at the PhD applications and I wonder "how did I possibly get into graduate school??"
