Super excited about my first, first-author being published the day after my defense! 🥳🥂✨. Keep an eye out for the second half of my PhD research, we're hard at work getting it wrapped up for submission 🙂.
Congrats to @UMichCMB PhD student @synaptikate for her first author paper with @3268_AMP from @UMPhysiology published in @PLOSGenetics showing loss of FIC-1 dependent ampylation slows disease in a C.elegans model of polyglutamine toxicity

gaining back the >100 lbs I lost through counting calories and exercising by eating 6000 calories of avocado and beef tallow daily because they're "natural".
RFK Jr. just broke down what he eats in a day and shared simple, underrated advice for staying healthy. No calorie counting, no obsession—just a focus on food quality. “Stop counting calories.”. Thread🧵

on a serious note, I'd graciously take any and all leads! I'm interested broadly in proteostasis in neurodegenerative diseases (especially rare diseases!) with relevant experience in several model systems (C. elegans, mouse models, iPSC-derived cells). #academictwitter.
shouting into the void: my first first-author primary research paper (1/2 of my dissertation work) was accepted for publication this week! also I'm defending my PhD in 3ish weeks! . here's hoping someone is still hiring postdocs out there *laughs nervously* 🫠👀 #sciencetwitter.
