Amazing turn out for @bummp_atucsd Welcome Lunch♥️♥️♥️

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 It started from my frustration with the depressing effect that the current publishing system has

New @UCSanDiego BioSci @NobelPrize Winner Announced! The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to BioSci alumnus Fred Ramsdell, a graduate in biochemistry/cell biology. He is being honored for transformative research on the immune system. https://t.co/YiSjcda5mn

feeling very thankful for the opportunity to present my work at our annual phd program retreat at @UCLAArrowhead and to have received the award for best student speaker 🐟🐟 thank you to all who came out to listen and to my lab and mentor for all of their support!

I received an Alstrosmeria award in plant biology at the annual retreat for UCSD School of Biological Sciences. Thanks my mentor, lab members, and collaborators for their supports.

Got my run in earlier at @ucsdbiosciences retreat in Lake Arrowhead. Now indulging in amazing science from our PhD program!

Scientific pursuit is a team effort, built on mutual trust, respect and collaboration from mentor & mentee. Grateful every day for this journey, and so proud of my mentee @eric_jordahl for being selected as @HHMINEWS Gilliam fellow!

BioSci's Eric Jordahl and Sonya Neal have been named recipients of the 2025 HHMI Gilliam Fellows Program, which supports promising PhD students. The program will support research on the underlying mechanisms of pancreatic cancer. https://t.co/Xc2Hg5Bp1v

Applying to the NSF-GRFP (or another fellowship) on a tight deadline? We built a 7-week guide + timeline to get you from draft to submission. It’s not too late — you’ve got this! ✨ 🔗 https://t.co/vwtKqUkumi #NSFGRFP #GradSchool #Fellowship

Check out Part 1 of my interview, discussing my recent publication co-authored with the incomparable @MrBlkfx1, which explores the syndemic relationship between non-communicable diseases and AMR infections.

Please support my wonderful colleague @reyes_lab!

Grateful to share my academic journey & our lab’s research in the @ucsdbiosciences lecture series, which builds a bridge between our amazing administrative staff and faculty, further strengthening the bonds that make our community so special. Thankful to be part of it!

So proud of my trainee, @eric_jordahl, for being selected as an HHMI Gilliam Fellow! Your dedication to outreach and your relentless pursuit of inclusive excellence are unmatched. You are so deserving of this honor!!!! @HHMINEWS https://t.co/9pNetVfnwi

Congratulations 2025 Gilliam Fellows and Advisors, including UC San Diego Biological Sciences graduate student @eric_jordahl and advisor Associate Professor Sonya Neal! https://t.co/9zuIgVV77Y

I am so humbled and excited to be selected as a 2025 HHMI Gilliam Fellow! Thank you to all of the mentors I have worked with to get me to this point, especially my advisor @Neal_Lab for her guidance. I am so excited to join the HHMI community! https://t.co/DXGntif7SH

Back at it again! @COPE2000 @UCSDPharmacy

First run in at GRS/GRC molecular membrane biology conference. GRS has been an amazing start to an exciting week ahead! #GRC #ProctorAcademy

My lab’s 5-year NIH R01 grant, awarded to study gene therapy for hearing loss, was abruptly terminated. I want to share how this action has been incredibly harmful and disruptive, not just to my lab, but to the scientific process itself. 1/15

PhD program applicants: if your PhD program is not direct admit into a specific lab, I recommend at least waiting until the interview phase to contact PIs. I also do not recommend applying to programs if there are only 1-2 labs you may want to join. There should be several.

So ecstatic to see my BUMMP mentee receive this prestigious award for all her hard work!
