Couldn’t be more well deserved! Congratulations, Justin!.
Exciting news! I will be starting a faculty position at Rutgers in September! My lab will study the neural circuits that integrate sensory information for guiding perceptual decisions. I will be recruiting at all levels. Stay tuned. Message if interested!.

Kelsey makes BEAUTIFUL figures and everyone interested in upping their science communication game should go listen to what she has to say.
For those of you attending #AROMWM, @matt_with_ears & I will be giving a #scicomm workshop tmrw @ 1:30pm ET! We'll go over tips for successful presentations & figures, and go over a new topic I'm super excited about- #accessible & #inclusive design. See you there!! 👏.
