Emmy Award Winning Journalist : Proud UCLA Bruin : Mother of 2 tiny dictators : Geeking out at the Allen Institute
Seattle, WA
Joined May 2009
When I left my post at NBC Seattle for the @AllenInstitute, I wondered how I was going to find an outlet for storytelling. Luckily, my colleagues and I have been trusted with sharing stories like these. This one in particular hit close to home.
Fentanyl is 100x stronger than morphine and it's reshaping the public health landscape. In a new #LabNotes episode, dive into the neuroscience of addiction and the human stories behind the crisis: https://t.co/0Zxf7Al4Yp

The @AP said "it looks like a galaxy" and we did it all with our 'one of a kind' electron microscopes... @PopMech @PopSci @tdnewcomb @darrenthewalrus
How does the brain work? Scientists are closer to the answer with the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date. 🧵

ICYMI - we shifted our focus to Brian science for one important day. 😉
Big day for Brians! Scientists have learned a lot about brains, but they know hardly anything about Brians. That's why we're shifting from brain science to Brian science. We're actively recruiting Brians for this study. Please tag one who should join! 🔗 https://t.co/K9V1Hex2TT

I actually agree with this list…. @DenofGeekUS Star Trek Movies Ranked From Worst to Best (Including Section 31)
denofgeek.com
We finally sat down and ranked every Star Trek movie, including Section 31. Can you guess which film landed in the number one spot and which ranked last?

All brilliant ideas are born into uncertainty but many will morph into a discovery that changes the world. THAT is the kind of science we work towards and support everyday at the @AllenInstitute
The cell is the building block of life. How do they work, how do they interact with each other, and what goes wrong in disease? Meet the newest cohort of Allen Distinguished Investigators and their bold #FrontierScience projects. 🧵

Has this ever happened to you? I got this message out of nowhere on @instagram yesterday and got locked out of my account. Information from @Meta is scarce. My own company’s posting guidelines are stronger than Instagram so don’t know what I could’ve possibly done wrong?

I still want to buy that pink sleep shirt I’m always seeing at @SeaTacAirport
I recently saw Sleepless in Seattle for the first time... and let's just say... I was not impressed... @AmityAddrisi and @Rebecca_Perry had some feelings! #NewDayNW

Three cheers for planetary defense!!!!
IMPACT SUCCESS! Watch from #DARTMIssion’s DRACO Camera, as the vending machine-sized spacecraft successfully collides with asteroid Dimorphos, which is the size of a football stadium and poses no threat to Earth.

Last day of summer!
Today is the final day of astronomical summer! The autumnal equinox will occur on Thursday at 6:03PM. We will be losing over 3 minutes of daylight everyday through the end of October. The big dark is coming! 🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂 #wawx #LastDayOfSummer #WelcomeToAutumn

With a poor track record, the question remains… does @SeaPubSchools have the tools to handle negotiations? Or should @waOSPI be tasked with stepping in?
@SeaPubSchools Clearly you have a poor history with the past three negotiations leading to two strikes and a third saved in the 11th hour! Stop handling our kids’ futures like you handled the pandemic…start being proactive and get it done now and in the future!

It’s that good kind of exhausted tho. 💙💚
I’d like to give a major shout out to team @NewDayNW… not only did we tape our regular show this morning… after that we taped a whole other extra episode in the field… (and still have tomorrow’s to produce) and I did not hear one complaint from anyone! Love this team.
