I have a question for academics who left for industry: What was your reason for leaving and would you ever go back? #AcademicChat #IndustryChat #CareerTransitions

Attended my first @LatinXinBME conference today and just looking around the room to see all the beautiful Latinx people was very motivational as we start BMES 2023 today. It was a great time!

Thank you @b_d_maier for the invitation and awesome preLights summary of the work we did in the @USCSysBio_Lab!
The other covers a #preprint from @IldefonsoGeena & @USCSysBio_Lab that builds upon a published mathematical model of T-cell exhaustion to study the dynamics that give rise to CD8+ T-cell exhaustion. 👉 https://t.co/FmASMMGyDP Includes a discussion with the preprint authors📝!

The US is the only country where guns are the leading cause of death among children. @BillLeeTN you can’t pray for the families who lost their children or adults who lost their lives when you are the problem expanding gun access and lessening restrictions. This is on you.

Really excited to have my first post doc preprint out with @USCSysBio_Lab! We explore the evolution of CD8+ T cell gene regulation underlying T cell exhaustion using a data-driven Boolean model:

In honor of #piDay2023 I want to give a shout-out to the person that helped me figure out how to apply to college and study mathematics. Michelle Harding was my AP Calculus teacher in high school, the first woman of color I was honored to learn from and watched me get my PhD ❤️
